How to change medical expense after finish deduction section?

When I prepare my tax 2022, I calculated my medical expense, I forgot one expense, so my medical expense does not excess the amount TurboTax asked, so I skip medical expense input. Now I think my medical expense will over the amount TurboTax asked, so I go back to the medical expense section, TurboTax doesn't allow me to change it. What I can do now?

As long as you have not filed yet, you can go back in and add your medical expenses and switch to itemized deductions (the link has instructions to switch deductions) if necessary.    Did you already file?   If you did, you have to amend it later (after your original is processed) to make the change.   See How to Amend   

 

If you haven't already filed, you can visit the medical expenses section to add the expenses.   

 

  1. With your return open, search for Schedule A and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
  2. Enter any expense that is not already included in your return.

Thanks, It solved my issue.

 

If TurboTax can do it in EasyStep, update the deduction, step by step as first time input. that will easy for beginner user.
