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:
- Click on Federal Taxes >
Deductions & Credits [In TT Self-Employed:
Personal > Deductions & Credits > I'll choose what
I work on].
- In the Medical section,
click on the Start/Revisit box next to Medical Expenses.
[See Screenshot #1 below.]
- 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.]
- If you think your total medical expenses will exceed that number, continue through the interview,
entering the requested information on your medical expenses.
- 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]
