MEDICAL EXPENSES

The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.) expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2019—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding. Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.

To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses

It depends. If your physician prescribed plan b, then it is a deductible medical expense if you itemize deductions on schedule a. If it was not prescribed and it was purchased over the counter instead then it is not a deductible medical expense. Please view this TurboTax FAQ for more information about deductible medical expenses.TurboTax FAQ
