You can claim the medical expenses that you paid for during the year.  Per IRS Publication 502, medical care expenses include payments for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or payments for treatments affecting any structure or function of the body.  If you visit the link above, you can see a complete list of all the deductible medical expenses.     Remember that to deduct medical expenses, you have to itemize your deductions instead of taking the Standard Deduction.     Can I deduct medical expenses? To enter your medical expenses in TurboTax: Open or continue your return. Navigate to the Schedule A section: TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to Schedule A. TurboTax Desktop: Search for Schedule A and then select the Jump to link.   @dkanthony 

I did read your post and I don't see where you have indicated you already tried each of those specific things. I am trying to help you. I assume you were not able to get pasted this and have not been able to successfully file your return yet, is that correct? Are you still receiving the hit a snag in the signature section?

No expert here - I also could not edit the cell (line 10 on the form) - to change - right click then select override.   I believe thats what the other poster was saying to do.  I have not finished but id does appear you have to do all the overides as well.  I wont get it to zero, but my goal is to reduce some.  Same issue - Bonus paid in Q1, also Cap Gain in Q4.

Still not sure why folks are venting at TurboTax. The same thing is happening with H&R Block tax software. Clearly the tax code changes that were probably hastily written towards the end of 2025 are complex and probably a bit convoluted--much like most of the bills passed by Congress.   It would be prudent to take a step back, take a breath, and walk away from tax preparation for a few days and check your TT at the end of this week. We're still 2 months away from the filing deadline. Better to wait than try to bypass TT--not sure how advisable it is to expense an item that should be depreciated. I'm sure that when the D&A comes through there will be an option to do a one time expense vs depreciation for some items, but it would be wise to wait so the entries are put in the correct lines on the correct forms rather than rush and increase the risk of an audit.

I called on a weekend and was able to get in touch with a person in a few minutes.  Might try again on a weekend.   I did call on a weekday and had to give up as I was on hold forever.   As far as I can tell, getting a person on the phone to manually do the state purchase is the only solution.  It worked immediately after the transaction was completed.

To get credit for the deduction of Overtime pay. Post your W-2 exactly as it appears. Continue through the interview. You will reach the screen Let’s Check for Uncommon Situations Select the box that says Overtime. There are alternatives on how to enter this information If this information is NOT in box 14 on your W-2 It may be on your final pay stub, You may be able to find the stub online, or Contact your employer Qualified overtime isn't taxable in 2025.  This doesn't apply to the straight-time portion of ‌earnings.   The straight time portion of the overtime hours is still taxed. However, the additional 50% incentive is not. Your full W-2 wages (including overtime) are reported on 1040 tax return. The deduction is applied on line 13b of the same tax return. Details of the entry can be found on Form 1A in Part III.  For more information on the topic, see No tax on Overtime  Employers may include Qualified Overtime in Box 14 of the W-2.
