It may. If you itemize deductions, you may claim out-of-pocket medical expenses. The deduction is limited to the amount of medical expenses that exceeds 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) (7.5% if you were age 65 or older in 2016).

To enter out-of-pocket medical expenses:

Open (continue) your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
Click My Account (top right of your screen).
Select Tools.
In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
In the search bar, type medical expenses.
In the results box, highlight medical expenses, sch a, then click GO.
Follow the onscreen instructions. Medical expenses are divided into numerous categories, so you'll need to choose the one that best fits your expenses. (The categories are: prescription medications, medical professionals, medical facility fees, x-ray and lab work fees, long term care services, eye care expenses, medical supplies and equipment, medical travel, insurance premiums, and other medical expenses.)

Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.
