For 2022 taxes, when I enter UNCLAIMED medical receipts for 2021,my refund does not change.The amount I enter is significant ($2000+).Is there a mistake in the software?

    Medical expenses are a non-refundable tax credit and as seen in our TurboTax article: Non-Refundable Tax Credits:

    A non-refundable tax credit reduces the amount of tax you pay on your taxable income. You will not get money back from a non-refundable tax credit, but you can use it to offset how much you will pay.

    For example; If you determine that you owe $1,000 in personal taxes, but you’re also eligible for $500 in non-refundable credits, you’ll only pay $500. However, if you don’t owe any taxes and you are eligible for $500 in non-refundable tax credits, you will not get a $500 refund.
