Where do you enter medical expenses for a qualifying relative? Turbo only asks you about dependents.

I have a child that no longer qualifies as a dependent. However, I believe I can deduct medical expenses for her based on her meeting the qualified relative rule for medical expenses.

Where do you enter medical expenses for a qualifying relative? Turbo only asks you about dependents.

You can deduct Medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, your dependents and your qualified relatives to whom you have provided more than half the support.

In TurboTax, even if not asked specifically about your qualified relative(s), you can just enter all medical expenses by category and TurboTax will calculate the amount deductible.

Please read this IRS document for more information:
