Question

My daughter is 21 and living at home she can't work due to medical reasons. Can I claim her medical bills on our income tax? I can't find a way to do it in turbotax.

We claim caregiver amount but it doesn't add her to our list of people that we can claim medical expenses for.

Please see this TurboTax FAQ for instructions on how to claim medical expenses for a child over 18:

Thank you for the response. I have done exactly as outlined in the instructions by checking the box for a dependent over 18 and it still won't give her name in the drop down box. Only the children under 18 are in it. I can't figure out why it won't work.
