Your assessment of Quebec's medical expense logic is spot on. While it may seem counterintuitive to enter small receipts when the software keeps telling you that you haven't met the 3% threshold, the "invisible" amount in RL-1 Box J alters the math behind the scenes.
You are correct in that you should not manually enter the Box J amount in the "Medical Expenses" section. TurboTax is set up to automatically pull that value from your RL-1 entry and add it to your medical expense total for Quebec (schedule B).
We appreciate your input.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
