Deductions & credits

If you are trying to enter your medical expenses, this is how to start that section:

  1. Select Federal.
  2. Select Deductions and Credits toward the upper left. 
  3. Expand the list and scroll down to Medical Expenses.
  4. Enter your expenses in the boxes on each screen. 
  5. Continue until your complete the section. 

Please note, it takes a lot of medical expenses to affect your refund because they subtract 7.5 % of your gross income from the total deduction.

 

For example, if your income is $50,000, $3750 will be subtracted from your medical expenses.
