Suggestion re Medical Expenses

[Swegnson]

It would be helpful when one gets to Medical Expenses in the interview if TT would state and ask along the following lines - "To be deductible medical expenses must exceed 7.5% of your AGI or xxx (where xxx is the amount calculated based on the return in question) Do you wish to itemize your medical expenses? Y/N"

I suggest this to avoid the dreaded "Needs Review" which invariably shows on my return. Because I entered data one year before I appreciated that my expenses would not qualify for a deduction, TT continually assumes I should be entering them again when it is not at all necessary, in fact a waste of time.

Once you clicked through all 11 medical expense categories, you should get a message that says either ''You are getting a medical deduction tax break'' OR ''The standard deduction is right for you''.    Once you click on DONE at the bottom of that screen, the ''Needs Review'' message should go away and the summary should show the total of what you entered in that section.

Sure, but why make someone click through those eleven categories if they don't need to?
