Medical Expenses error in TT

I opted to put no Medical Expenses in because we had very little.  When I finished my return and was reviewing it, that item showed $11,476.  Once I indicated the standard deduction was best, there was no way to get back to the screen to correct it.  I looked at my previous year's Turbo Tax prepared return and found that the return I had submitted had put even more for that line item.  Since you can't actually see your completed return until you pay for it and submit, I was unaware of that mistake either.  I am very disappointed that TT has this egregious error and that I'm not able to correct it without paying $109 more to talk to the help people.

    Medical can come from other places, even from a W2 or 1099R.

     

    Did you buy health insurance from the Marketplace exchange?  Or have to pay back the subsidy?  If you went to an exchange for Health Insurance, and had to pay back some of the subsidy, part of the adjustment will flow to Schedule A.

     

    If you get Social Security benefits the medicare deduction on your SSA-1099 will flow to Schedule A.

     

    Or are you seeing the amount listed for the 7.5% of AGI?

    We did buy health insurance on the exchange.  We did have to pay back some of the subsidy.  We are not receiving S.S. yet.  I can't see the actual return to know if there is the 7.5% of AGI.
