Open TurboTax
You can just enter a total, or group items together (ex: prescriptions, dental, etc...), but you can only claim amounts for medical expenses that you paid yourself, that weren't reimbursed by someone else (ex: insurance or an employer, etc...). So if you paid $1000 for a dental procedure, but your insurance covered $800, then you can only claim the $200 difference.
There's no maximum amount of medical expenses that you can claim, only a minimum. You can claim the total of the eligible expenses minus the lesser of the following amounts: $2,834 or 3% of your net income (line 23600 of your tax return). However, the medical expense credit is non-refundable, so it can only be used to reduce or eliminate taxes owing. It can't be used to generate or increase a refund.
