The Turbo Tax software I purchased is not allowing me to input medical expenses. Why?

i have listed my medical expenses and the tax break page still says "needs review" after completing numerous times.

I just tested it out on my end and it flows through seamlessly to the Medical Expenses worksheet  forms without any error message. Just to clarify, can you identify precisely which tax break page you are referring to?

Working on Medical Expenses for 2022. Visit Medical Expenses. When I attempt to make these entries, I cannot enter them. It will not let me key the entries.

IF...if you are using the desktop software, try a double-click on the field that doesn't allow an entry (usually shows a "$0" and is not simply a blank field).

 

There may be a Supporting Details sheet that you used las year and transferred into this year...empty.

The Turbo Tax software I purchased is not allowing me to input medical expenses. Why?

I have a number in Turbo Taxes for Medical Expenses...........but it's $15K too much. Its 15K greater than the sum of the medical inputs.  I corrected all of the inputs to that number, but the total on the summary page will not change. How can I correct it and reduce it? 

The Turbo Tax software I purchased is not allowing me to input medical expenses. Why?

Did you enter any self employed health insurance under schedule C?  If you couldn't use it all there then the difference goes to schedule A.  If your health ins exceeds your net self-employment income it gets split. An amount equal to your net self-employment income goes on Form 1040 Schedule 1 line 16 and the remainder gets added in to medical expenses on Schedule A.

 

Medical can come from other places, even from a W2 or 1099R.

 

Did you buy health insurance from the Marketplace exchange?  Or have to pay back the subsidy?  If you went to an exchange for Health Insurance, and had to pay back some of the subsidy, part of the adjustment will flow to Schedule A.

 

If you get Social Security benefits the medicare deduction on your SSA-1099 will flow to Schedule A.

 

Or are you seeing the amount listed for the 7.5% of AGI?
