How can I itemize health care benefits

You can select the alternative deduction by doing the following in TurboTax. I'm not sure what you have tried, but this method allows you to switch your deductions from standard to itemized and vice versa.

 

Go to "Deductions and Credits" and select "I'll choose what I work on"

 

 

Answer the prompts and you will come to the screen that says "You've chosen the itemized deductions" (or "You've chosen the Standard Deduction" in your case). This is where you will make the change.

 

It will look like this:

 

 

Select "Change My Deduction" and then select  which deduction you wish to take.
