Deductions & credits

Typically itemized deductions for state tax returns must be entered as you go through the Federal return.  This is true regardless of whether you used the standard deduction or itemized deductions on your Federal return.  The information entered on the Federal return is transferred automatically to your state return and utilized if needed.

 

Try revisiting the medical expense section on your Federal return to enter your information.  Then you may need to go through the New Mexico state return again to be sure that the information has transferred.
