    Medical expenses are considered an itemized deduction, that will only benefit you if all of your itemized deductions total more that your standard deduction, which is $24,800 for joint filers who are under 65 years old. Also, only the portion over 10% of your adjusted gross income is deductible. If the deduction does not help you on your federal return it may still help on your state tax return.

     

    You enter medical expenses in TuroTax by using the following menu tabs:

    1. Federal
    2. Deductions and Credits
    3. Medical
    4. Medical expenses
