I entered my medical expenses, and claimed them on this tax return. I have surpassed the minimum threshold amount, and yet my taxable income is unchanged. Why?

[TurboTaxSusan]

Medical expenses are not deducted until Line 33099, so Line 26000 Taxable income is not changed when you add medical expenses.

Ok thank you. I think I asked my question incorrectly, because what I'm really trying to understand is why do I still owe the exact same amount of money on my return? I entered over $1k of expenses.

Are the medical expenses 3% of your net income (line 23600) or $2,759 (for tax year 2024)?

Yes regarding the 3%, in fact it is closer to 10% of my net income on line 23600, but it is less than $2,759... so to clarify: It's 3% or $2,759 (whichever number is less), correct?
