You always have the option of posting your medical expenses. However, in 2019, the IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct the total qualified unreimbursed medical care expenses for the year that exceeds 7.5% of their adjusted gross income.

That means that if you earned $100,000. You would have to exceed $7,500 before you even start to calculate the deduction.

If you wish to post the expenses go to:

Deductions and Credits
I'll choose what I work on
Scroll down to Medical
Select Medical Expenses

Follow the questions as you go through.

Are you asking about getting the 1095A or B or C? You don't need to report 1095B or 1095C. Just a 1095A.

For 2019 it is now listed under Deductions instead of a separate tab.

To enter your Form 1095-A -
