Deductions & credits

Medical expenses are only deductible for the amount that is in excess of 7.5% of your AGI. If you look at your schedule A line 3, you will likely see $16,589.  

 

The worksheet flows to line 1 of the Schedule A, then line 2 and 3 are used to reduce your medical expenses by 7.5% of your AGI.  Line 4 is your actual medical expense deduction.  This is what you will see on your summary screen.
