I forgot to take out what I pay for out of pocket medical

If you have not filed your tax return, you can still enter this information on Line 1 of Schedule A as a medical deduction.

You can add those by following this path:

1. Click on the Federal Taxes tab
2. Click on Deductions & Credits tab
3. Click the I'll Choose What I Work On button
4. Under the Medical heading, click the Medical Expenses start button
5. From here Turbo Tax will guide you through the process of entering those costs.

If you have already filed the tax return, then there no way to enter these expenses. You'll have to amend the tax return to enter those medical expenses.

Before you amend the tax return...see if you took the Standard Deduction or if you Itemized your deductions.

If your total itemized Deductions are less than the Standard Deduction, then you'll want to take the Standard Deduction. The IRS allows taxpayers the greater of either the standard deduction or the sum all their itemized deductions. So, always go with the larger of the two...
