Techincal Issue: How to unlock a deduction section showing "done"

gjdehaven — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:51:12 GMT

My medical expense deductions is showing "Done" in Turbo Tax but I need to edit (add more expenses). I cannot find a way to do that. It is locked. I want to reopen that file... how?

In the CD/Download software, you can use the Search tool located in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Enter the topic you need assistance with (Medical Expenses) then hit the enter. You will see a "Jump to medical expenses" link in the search results. Click on it and follow the on-screen instructions to make changes.

I followed your instructions, but it did not solve the problem. When clicked on "Jump to medical expenses" link, the screen defaults to "Thanks, we got all your medical expense info. Right now, the standard decution saves you the most on taxs." The only options are "done" or "back" and both return to the deductions and credits screen. When clicked on "update" under medical expenses, it returns to the same screen noted above. Thanks for trying... is there a solution? (probably user error).

It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2021" file that is experiencing this issue.

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions:

Go to the black panel on the top of your program and select Online.

On this dropdown, select Send tax file to Agent.
You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click Send through this screen and then you will get a Token number.
Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

I am having this exact problem. I am trying to add my wife's medical expenses, but it keeps saying "Thanks, we got all your Medical Expense info". I click "Edit" and "Revisit" and get the same thing. No way to get in. Very frustrating. I tried existing TurboTax Online and starting it up again. No difference.
