Why are my medical expenses not adjusting my tax refund when they add up to roughly $600 more than 3% of my wife’s income?

Hello cj_heidi,

On the page titled "Medical Expense Claim," ensure you are claiming the medical expenses under your wife.

To do this, answer "Do you want to claim the medical expenses?" by selecting "Yes" from the drop-down menu, and then check off the button next to "Claim under (wife)'s return".

After doing so, the deduction for your expenses should be applied.
