Deductions & credits

Medical expenses are entered in TurboTax Desktop in the Deductions & Credits > Medical > Medical Expenses category. 

 

However, the amount shown will only be for expenses paid out-of-pocket. If you took an HSA distribution to pay for medical expenses or were reimbursed by insurance, they are not eligible for an itemized deduction. In those instances, your medical expenses would be displayed as $0 on the main Deductions & Credits screen.

 

Furthermore, medical expenses are not deductible as an itemized deduction until they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
