What do I do if I turbo tax has a different total than I do for my medical expenses?

[melodysparks]

I entered my expenses and Turbo Tax showed me the amount they pulled in for medicare premiums, but they list almost $4000 more for the total medical expenses than I do!

When you entered medical expenses, you should not have entered Medicare Premiums, as you know they pull over. You would enter medical mileage which the program turns into a dollar amount.  You will need to review your forms and entries to find anyplace that some expenses may have been entered twice.
