Where do you enter your claim for medical appt mileage in turbotax2021?

You will need to enter your travel expenses for medical treatment the same way you enter your medical expenses.

Here are the steps using TurboTax online:

  1. Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon) from the TurboTax menu
  2. Enter medical expenses in the Find window
  3. Select Medical Expenses Profile from the list of results
  4. Select Go. The Your Medical Profile step appears
  5. Select all checkboxes that apply, then select Continue
  6. The Medical Expenses step appears. TurboTax will display the minimum amount of eligible medical expenses required to generate a tax benefit

If the eligible medical expenses are less than the minimum amount displayed by TurboTax, the user selects Done, as there aren't enough expenses to generate a tax credit. Otherwise, select Enter New Medical Expense, and the Medical Expenses Receipt step appears.

 

Note: Before beginning, make sure you've entered all your income information into TurboTax. TurboTax will use these details to automatically calculate the minimum medical expenses you need to enter, as well as to determine your eligibility for claiming a deduction.

Thank you - I do know how to enter the medical expenses but mileage is different....anyone have any suggestions?

You enter mileage the same way as you would glasses, teeth or prescriptions. In the description of the expense, you write mileage for appointment 80 miles away, etc.

Thank you for using TurboTax.
