How can I edit the amount I previously entered for my medical expenses? The program keeps showing me my Medical Expense Deduction without allowing me to edit the figure.

I am about to lose my mind over this issue!! I was on with TurboTax help for more than an hour.  He finally said I would just need to start over with my ENTIRE return!! 

I’m not seeing a Forms button on the top right of my screen.

Forms view is available on desktop versions. If you are using TurboTax online, navigate back to the medical section by typing 'medical expenses' in the search field, then select the 'jump to medical expenses' link. 

 

That will take you back to the medical section of Schedule A where you can review your entries.

I struggled with this too!  I was ready to start over but talked to someone at TurboTax that knew how to fix this:

 

BTW- I was using TurboTax Premium Online

 

-Go to Tax Tools

-Forms

-Find Medical Expenses Worksheet

-Delete Medical Expenses Worksheet

-Then go back to deductions, then medical expenses

 

I hope this helps you!

I suspect that you are using a TurboTax Online version.  The directions referring to FORMS is found in the TurboTax Desktop version.

 

Follow these steps in TurboTax Online, to return to entering Medical Expenses.

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Down the left side of the screen click on Deductions & credits.
  • Scroll down to Medical, click the down arrow to the right.
  • Click Start/Revisit to the right of Medical Expenses.
