Can you help me with Medical expenses "needs review"?

“Needs review” in the TurboTax program usually just means the program doesn’t have all the info it needs to calculate something with certainty (in this case, the medical expense deduction). Or it could mean that some info about a topic which is completely irrelevant to your tax return has been entered accidentally, and just needs to be removed. You’re definitely not doing anything wrong though, @sunnytomorrows-6 (and this is actually probably fixable today!)…

 

Assuming you did intend to enter medical expenses into the program, are you able to return there (to “Federal Taxes,” then “Deductions & Credits” [“I’ll choose what I work on”], then “Medical” [“Medical Expenses”]), and start going through screen-by-screen? You should see some sign of an incomplete entry eventually, but if you see anything you’re not sure about, you can post a subsequent question about it here. (I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread for a while, and after I’m done someone else will likely come along to help…)

Thank you for your response! I'll go over it more closely soon, and hopefully I'll find the entry (missing or erroneous)... I'll check back with results!
