where to enter travel medical expenses on turbo tax software

Yes travel for medical purposes would be included with other medical receipts such as prescriptions and dental. List the item separately for the round trip and describe the expense as Travel for Medical Purposes. You can also claim a meal expense for every 4 hours of your journey at the simplified rate of $17.00 per meal.

Thank you for answering this for me TurboTax Terry. However, I have a further question on this.  If I add the meal to the expense the daily travel/meal expense for this is $96.60.  I make this trip three time per week.  That therefore would be a total of $15,069.60 in medical expenses. Is this correct? If so, would I enter each trip on the software or just the total?

It might be easier to total your meals and mileage for the year and enter them as two amounts, you would keep your log separate and have it available should CRA ask to see it. The total of your expenses will be based on the number of trips and costs, there is no limit for legitimate medical expenses.
