These lines are for other medical and dental expenses that occur less frequently. There are lines for doctors and dentists, hospitals, prescription medicines, medical mileage, eyeglasses, etc. But many allowable expenses do not fit neatly into those categories. If you have one or more of those expenses, perhaps a visiting nurse or home health aide, prosthetic devices, etc. enter the amount and a brief description. For information about allowable expenses, please see:
