Hello, where should I put the PPEs under Deductions? Is Turbo tax already updated to include the PPEs?

    If you are itemizing deductions you can enter PPE supplies as  medical expense.   It is very tough to get a deduction for medical expenses, so you might go through the motions for nothing.

     

    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 2020—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
