Deductions & credits

yes you can deduct them in 2022 under IRC 213(c)

(c)Special rule for decedents
(1)Treatment of expenses paid after death
For purposes of subsection (a), expenses for the medical care of the taxpayer which are paid out of his estate during the 1-year period beginning with the day after the date of his death shall be treated as paid by the taxpayer at the time incurred.

 

 

one other thing required by the code section is a

(A)a statement that such amount has not been allowed as a deduction under section 2053, and (taken on the decedent's estate return) 
(B)a waiver of the right to have such amount allowed at any time as a deduction under section 2053.

 

not standard in Turbotax so you would have to paper file.
