Yep...a bunch of folks do.   One of the helpers suggested just entering the $$ amount you are thinking of converting.....and entering that as a supposed 1099-INT, box 1 entry...(From some fictitious Bank so you remember to delete it later). That amount is taxed the same as your converted $$ amount.

Yes, your spouse is your spouse.  The section of the tax law allowing medical expense deductions does not require that you file a joint return or that your spouse be a US person.   The same requirement applies that the treatment or drug must be legal in the US.  

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd

Also, the import feature of ItsDeductible is similarly not replicated.    You should check out one the ItsDeductible alternatives from third-party developers.
