I use desktop Home and Business and there was an erroneous entry on itemized line on 1040 for over 2 million dollars. Why is that? I called and no calls were recorded concerning this. I overrode it and checked standard deduction. It fixed it but in the state return it was there. I had to override it again. I have never had this happen before.

Any idea?

A good starting point would be to view your forms, then click on the letter I in the upper left hand side for errors.

The next step would be is to go into Deductions and Credits and recheck your entry amounts in the Mortgage interest and property taxes / Charitable contributions/ and the Medical expense category input to see if there any amounts there that were overstated.

I found the erroneous entry in medical expenses. I did not put it there. We do not have any expenses. It was there after I installed the program. Is it possible someone used the program before I received it and never deleted that entry? I assumed it was new.

No. The tax data is not saved in the program. It is in a separate data file ending in .tax2022. No way anyone could have already used the program or you wouldn't have been able to install it. The medical expenses had to come from your entry like from a W2 or SSA-1099. Did you transfer from a 2021 return?
