Yes, you can enter additional medical expenses, please see the instructions below:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “medical expenses”
  3. Click on “Jump to medical expenses” 

Please see What kinds of medical expenses are deductible? for additional information.

Thanks for replying, but that's what I did when I had the problem. Both the search/jump to medical expenses, or edit Medical expenses on the list of deductions take me to a page that says "Thanks, we got all your Medical Expense info. Right now the standard deduction saves you the most on your taxes." It seems like a glitch because there is no way for me to enter more medical expenses. I'm afraid I'll have to delete all the medical expenses and re-enter. But I don't even remember being asked for additional medical expenses -- just the premiums that I paid. Now I can't find a place to enter anything else.

In your situation, it is recommended that you first log out of your TurboTax Online and delete your cookies.

For more information on how to delete your cookies on the browser you are using, please see How do I delete cookies?.

 

You can also try using a different browser to complete your return.
