Hen you go to itemized deductions in the medical section enter your medical expenses there. You can only deduct a total of medical expenses greater than 7.5 percent of your AGI. The information will be transferred to your state return.

Enter these in the deductions and credit section of your return. Once entered, these will populate in the state return when you begin preparing it. 

 

Steps to Enter Medical Expenses 

  1. Open the Federal Section:
  2. In the top menu, click the Federal tab.
  3. Select Deductions & Credits from the sub-menu.
  4. Locate Medical Category
  5. Scroll down to the Medical category (you may need to click "Show more" to see it).
  6. Click Start or Revisit next to Medical Expenses.
