Long Term Care 1099-LTC

[Rates Payer]

My Form 1099-LTC does not have a mark in Box 3. Yet TurboTax is asking me questions such as "LTC Number of Days" and "Costs of Qualified Long Term Care Services"  Can't get past these questions in TurboTax -- says its an error to leave them blank. Help!

If you received a 1099-LTC that means you received benefits for Long term care. Generally, your LTC reimbursement is only taxable if they exceed your medical expenses. Be sure to answer the TurboTax follow-up questions in the 1099-LTC interview to ensure it is being reported correctly.

You report the amount on your 1099-LTC as income; however, in the same section in TurboTax, you report the amount of expenses associated with this income, so that the benefits are not taxable.
