The medical expense deduction for individuals 66 years old and older is available for taxpayers whose income is below:
- $100,000 if your filing status is single or married filing separately, or
- $200,000 if your filing status is married filing jointly, head of household, or qualifying widow/surviving spouse
If you are age 66 and older and your income is below the above threshold, TurboTax will ask you to enter your medical expenses. If you meet the requirements and still don't see the screen asking for your medical expenses, please review your personal profile in the My Info section to make sure your birthdate is reported properly. Then review your income to make sure it's not overstated.
