Question

Why won't "Medical expenses for other dependants" page show up for me? I need to add medical expenses for 18 year old, her name is also not listed in drop down menu?

I've clicked the box to add medical expenses for dependant over 18 but the next page only offers the rest of the family names as options

    If your dependant is over 18 years of age, you should see their name in the drop down in the same medical receipts section where you are putting your own medical expenses.  If you are in the section meant for other dependants (not including yourself, your spouse, or dependants over 18) that might be why you are not seeing the dependant.

     

    When you go to Deductions > Medical Expenses Profile, you will want to use the first checkbox.  If you have the last checkbox in the list selected, and you have no dependants entered that are 18 or older, that would explain why the drop down list is blank on the page titled Medical Expense For Other Dependants.  If you are on the Medical Expenses Receipt entry page and still don't see your dependant's name, try double checking their date of birth entered under My Info > Dependants information.

     

    If it still doesn't work, please visit TurboTax page: How do I enter medical expenses for dependants over 18.
