Why does my Medical Expenses column continue to say "needs review"? I have gone through the category a number of times and completed the form.

Usually, the needs review page will ask a question and have a box for you to fill in. 

Medical expenses are for itemizing. Some states itemize when the federal does not. Most people do not itemize on federal or state. 

  • If you do itemize, you will need to review your medical expenses and look for a bad answer or blank. 
  • If you are not itemizing federal or state, you can delete your medical expenses.

What does your review page say at the top?
