Most people don't benefit from medical deductions or from itemizing their deductions in general, so if you don't itemize your deductions you could try deleting the schedule A and that may resolve your issue. However, sometimes your itemized deductions are beneficial on your state tax return even though they don't help on the federal return. If you delete your schedule A and find your tax goes up, then you would have to have to re-enter your itemized deductions, but minus the medical expenses.
Here is how you could delete your schedule A:
- Click on Tax Tools in the left menu bar
- Click on Tools
- Look under Other Helpful Links and choose Delete a form
Find the schedule A in the list and click on the delete icon to remove it.
