my medical expenses total 14,874. turbo tax form indicates medical expenses of 19019, a difference of 4,145

You may have medical insurance reported elsewhere in TurboTax, perhaps from your social security entry (Form SSA-1099) for Medicare insurance or from self-employment health insurance that you are not considering. Also from the government insurance exchange from Form 1095-A (Obamacare).

Or, did you enter a reimbursement amount during the last step of the Medical expenses interview.

Thank you.  You were correct it was social security medical deductibles.
