I forgot to include two medical bills I had to pay for out of pocket. Is it too late to add them?

    No, it is not too late, but the remedy depends on your situation.

     

    If you have not attempted tot e-file your return, you can log into TurboTax, and add the amounts to your medical expenses in itemized deductions.

     

    If you have already e-filed, you will need to wait until the return is accepted or rejected.  If it is rejected, you can simply add the missed amounts and try to e-file again.  If it is accepted, you will have to file an amended return. Here are the steps to follow to file an amended return: How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS

     

    It is important to note, that medical expenses are only deductible once they exceed 7.5% of your AGI.  See this helpful article for more information: Are Medical Expenses Tax Deductible?
