TT won’t accept my medical expenses

[JohnB5677]

We can't see anything that you tried to post, so I'm not quite sure of the exact issue.

• If you cannot enter anything in the medical section, please write back with some details.
• If you are entering information, but don't have an amount being posted to the summary page, there is a reason for that.

Medical deductions are limited.  For tax year 2022, the IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct their total qualified unreimbursed medical care expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income if the taxpayer uses IRS Schedule A to itemize their deductions.

....and...if you are using the Desktop/download software?

..................and if you see an existing "$0" in the entry field?

Try double-clicking on the field.  If there is a "Supporting Details" (SD) worksheet attached to that field, you need to double-click on it to get the SD sheet to pop up. 

Then you can either make your entries in the SD sheet, or delete it entirely and get full access to the normal interview entry field.

I understand the limitation on medical expenses.   My concern is that, after I've entered all the amounts for any  areas that do qualify the system still tells me it needs review.  I've  "reviewed" it three times!  I already  know that standard deduction is  the direction this is going but why does it keep telling me my  medical expenses need review when I've entered all the information?

By  the way, thank  you for being there.

Didn't see any support detail sheet and the issue wasn't resolved as far as I could tell.  However, it wasn't going to make a difference to the end result and the system seemed to accept it so I just finished and went to bed.

Thanks so much for being there and for your willingness to help.  So much appreciated.
