I left the answers blank in my "Medical Expenses" section on "Deductions & Credits," only for it to give me an amount under "tax breaks" for 2024. What does this mean?

I went through "Medical Expenses" on the "Deductions & Credits" page just to make sure that nothing applies to my situation. I simply left the answers blank (after initially writing "$0.00" but then gave up after a while; I went back and erased all my input) and now it shows that my tax break for 2024 is $3,110.00. What does this mean? Is that number correct, or is it a system error?

I spoke with someone this past Thursday, and the workers believe that the question is resolved; but I would rather double-check just to be safe. Thank you!

Thank you for providing the token.

The amount that's showing up as medical expenses is your net out of pocket health insurance premiums paid, including any potential premium tax credit repayment.
