I need to add medical expenses to my taxes, but I just hit transmit. Can I stop it?

"Can I stop it?"

No, you cannot. Once you hit the orange Transmit button, that is the end and you cannot undo it.

no you can't.   you'll have to see if you get an accepted email in which case you'll have to amend but must wait until the original filing is processed which could take 4 to 6 weeks (you get your refund or the payment clears the funding source).   if rejected you can fix and resubmit but you must also correct the problem that caused the rejection otherwise it will be rejected again.

Are you itemizing deductions?  Will the medical make a difference?

This year the Standard Deduction will be doubling so many people will be switching to the Standard Deduction.  And there is a max 10,000 limit (5,000 MFS) of property tax and state taxes "SALT".  SALT is State And Local Tax.  Which includes property tax, any state tax paid like for last year’s return and includes any state withholding from your W2s and any 1099s you have. And any taxes in W2 box 14 and 19 like SDI or VDI. You can only deduct up to 10,000 (5,000 MFS) for SALT State and Local Taxes.

And you can only deduct Medical that’s over 7.5% of your AGI.  Also the deduction for job expenses have been suspended.
