Turbotax seperated medical expenses by categories such as co-pay, doctor, clinic, etc. What are the categories so I can track them for next year?

I understand what is deductable.  I just want to know how Turbotax breaks them down into categories when doing the walk thru questions under "did you have any medical expenses?".

The categories are not required by the IRS, just a total number for all medical expenses (copays, etc) and a total number for health insurance premiums.

However, in TurboTax, you can track your expenses by using some or all of the categories below:

• Co-pays on prescription, cost of pharmaceuticals
• Doctor co-pays/surgical procedures
• Dental expenses
• Vision/eyeglass and other medical supplies
• All other services/supplies required by a doctor.
