When entering medical expenses in "deductions & credits", do I include expenses I paid with my Flex account, or do I only enter out of pocket expenses?

[AnnaB · Accepted solution]

No, you should only enter out of pocket expenses.

Note: Amounts paid from an HSA should be entered since TurboTax will automatically deduct the distributions reported on Form 1099-SA

@amypackster You must enter ALL of your medical expenses because the automatic subtraction of the 1099-SA amount will adjust the total.

TurboTax adjusts for HSA amounts, but not Flexible Spending Account amounts.

Thank you clarifying because this FAQ says enter ALL medical expenses with no mention of FSA paid expenses.

@rebab Thank you for your feedback, I will submit the information for an enhancement.  There are no distribution forms for an FSA which is why they should not be included.
