My actual medical expenses are less than calculated by Turbo Tax. Can someone tell me why?

[SweetieJean · Accepted solution]

The difference is probably medical insurance premiums listed on a 1099-R, SSA-1099, 1095, etc.

Yes, you can only deduct the amount of medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income.

The deduction is limited to the expenses above and beyond this amount.
