Individual is itemizing deductions in 2019 because of large ($60,000+) memory care and hospice expenses.  I want to include the detail of these medical expenses on the e-filed 1040.  The "do not print" box on the medical expense worksheet is not -  checked and I can print the detail,  but when I print a copy of the 1040 to be e-filed I don't see that this worksheet/detail is being added to the return to be filed?

    That is correct, the detail does not get sent to the IRS.  The worksheet information is for your records only.  If the IRS wants more information, they will send you a letter and the worksheet documents the deduction you took on your return.

     

    You do not need to send this information to the IRS unless the IRS sends you a letter asking for it.
