Medical Deduction

[JAB61]

So I do my sisters taxes and she wants to deduct her Medical expenses, I don't want to waste my time add this stuff up .

So would there be any benefit claiming medical expenses?

She is 69 yrs old, collects $17K from SSA, $5100 from pensions, she paid $1700 federal taxes and $118 in State (Illinois), without putting in the medical she is getting all that back, Medical Expenses will not give any increase no matter how much she spent right?

Thank you!

There is no reason to itemize if you get all your withholding back with the standard deduction. There are no special benefits.
