Where do I enter ambulance fees on medical deductions

Please keep in mind the following about deducting your medical expenses:

  • You don't get the benefit if you are taking the standard deduction.
  • If you itemize deductions, you will only be able to take total medical expenses that are greater than:
    • 10% of your adjusted gross income if you are under age 65; or
    • 7.5% of your adjusted gross income if you are age 65 or over (born before January 2, 1951).


To enter ambulance fees (
and other medical expenses) in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

  1. Click on Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits  [In TT Self-Employed:  Personal > Deductions & Credits > I'll choose what I work on].
  2. In the Medical section, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Medical Expenses.  [See Screenshot #1 below.]
  3. TurboTax will then ask you if your total medical expenses exceed a certain number.  [That's the 10% AGI or 7.5% AGI mentioned above.]
  4. If you think your total medical expenses will exceed that number, continue through the interview, entering the requested information on your medical expenses.
  5. You will come to the screen Tell us about any other medical expenses.  This is where you can enter your ambulance fees.  If you need to enter another expense line click on Add another expense[Screenshot #2]
