If you are using TurboTax Online, you would enter the total minus the amount you were reimbursed for.

Entering the expense less the reimbursement is the recommended way on the medical expenses form.  Why not put this on the form?

You are correct that you always put the amount you paid out of pocket and not the part that was reimbursed. We will share your feedback with our creating team.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
