To benefit from the above, you must itemize your deductions which will require you to upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe Edition.

Unless you have enough itemized deductions (ie. Medical mortgage interest, property taxes, charitable giving, ect) to exceed your Standard Deduction, you will not be able to benefit from this expense.
