MEDICAL EXPENSES

The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.)  expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2023—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding.  Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.

To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses

2023 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS

SINGLE $13,850  (65 or older/legally blind + $1850)

MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $13,850  (65 or older/legally blind + $1500)

MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $27,700  (65+/legally blind) )  + $1500 per spouse

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD  $20,800 (65 or older/blind)  + $1850)

Medical, dental, and vision expenses are reported on Schedule A and entered in the Deductions & Credits section. To go back and go through the medical questions. 

1. With your return open, search for Schedule A and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
2. Enter your medical expenses, starting with prescriptions, on the following screens.

As xmasbaby0 mentioned, medical expenses have to be a large amount to make a difference on your return.  To read more information about what medical expenses are deductible see the following article:
