TTax won't let me enter medical expenses

Answered "No" at first when asked if medical expenses were greater than $xxxx.xx because I didn't have them at hand. Now I want to change my answer, but TurboTax Home & Business 2023 Desktop won't let me. When I click on Update, it simply tells me "Thanks, we got all your Medical Expense info." Seems like a defect. How do I get around this? Thanks for your help.

TTax won't let me enter medical expenses

When I click the medical button, it asks again if I spent more than $xxx.  You do have something odd happening but not a problem. Since you are using the desktop version, we have a workaround. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Forms and click on it - top right for a windows computer- in the blue strip.
  2. On the left, scroll down to Medical Wks
  3. the medical expenses worksheet will show and you can make a few entries
  4. then click on step-by-step in the top right to go back into the program and finish filling in the information.

CAUTION - never overwrite anything in Forms mode or it will cancel the accuracy warranty. You only want to fill in a few things on lines that accept the information and get back into the program. Thankfully, medical expenses can be typed into with no problem!
