Yes, you may deduct the cost of prescription eyeglasses and other medical expenses if you have enough deductions to itemize on your Schedule A. The IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct their qualified unreimbursed medical care expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income. Review the TurboTax article: What Are Itemized Tax Deductions? to find out if you have other deductions to itemize.   Review the TurboTax articles: The Ultimate Medical Expense Deductions Checklist and Are Medical Expenses Tax Deductible?  

Taxes due means that you have a balance due to the IRS or state. It means that you didn’t pay enough taxes throughout the year on the money that you made.   For more information, refer to the TurboTax Help articles: Video: Why Do I Owe on My Tax Return?, How to Pay Taxes: 10 Ways to Pay Your Tax Bill and How can I pay my federal taxes?

Thanks for your response. You mentioned - "In step 7, Did you get a 1099-DA from XXX?, select Yes." So even if one doesn't have a 1099-DA, I still say YES at this step and proceed? I tried with No and I'm not convinced TT handles it correctly in this case, as it complains that description of the asset is unknown though I have named the asset and entered all details. Instead, If I choose the 'Other' category instead of  Digital Assets, TT seems to handle it a little better though it's classified as an other/unnamed asset. In the light of this, would you recommend this vs the 1009-DA step 7 YES selection? Thanks.

By the response from @DianeW777  above suggests that I can split the 1099 into two separate entries/investments -- one using the Total entry; and a 2nd one using the Details by  individual transactions -- with Wash Sale adjustment..  Then all required details will be on the Form 8949 that is part of the Tax Return that is efiled.  So no Form 8453 will be needed?   Splitting the info on a 1099 seems to be a common solution to other TurboTax's deficiencies!
