Deductions & credits

it is probably one of those things that is embedded in the tax code that states since you are filing jointly, you both must have an equal amount of medical expenses to get the maximum deduction. I plugged this scenario in my test turbo tax return and found that if you allocated the full amount to yourself, you did not get as big of a subtraction a you would if you allocated these amounts equally.
