Health care

You will not necessarily receive back any of your paid healthcare expenses. Why do you think you get back a percent of them?   Do you have enough itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction?  The medical expense deduction is one of the hardest to get, and even if you have enough, you still have to have enough other itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction before you will see any effect on your tax due or refund.

MEDICAL EXPENSES

The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.)  expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2018—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding. Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.

To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses
