I paid a lot for medical for my daughter, am I able to claim those medical expenses if so where do I input?

 

Deductions & credits

If she is your dependent they are a medical deduction if you itemize.  You can deduct only an amount greater than 7.5 percent of your AGI.  This will only benefit you if your total itemized deductions are greater than your standard deduction.
