I spent $14,611.00 out of pocket for dental work, ie, fillings, exrays, crowns etc. When I look in TurboTax there are sections for eyewear etc but I can find nowhere to enter my dental expenses except "Medical Profession Fees" Is that where I enter the dollar amount?
Yes, you enter dental treatment in "Medical professionals fees." The description on the screen tells you that medical professionals include dentists. Dental expenses are medical expenses. There is no separate category for dental expenses.
BUT: Only medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) are deductible. (Enter the full amount that you paid in TurboTax. TurboTax will subtract 7.5% of your AGI.) In addition, medical expenses are an itemized deduction. They will not reduce your tax or increase your refund unless your total itemized deductions are more than your standard deduction.
