Your Schedule A will show your itemized deductions; but it will only show a total for medical--it will not break them down by doctor office visits, surgery fees, dental expenses, etc. Look beyond the Schedule A for a worksheet if you want to review the specific medical expenses you entered.
And...
MEDICAL EXPENSES
The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.) expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.
