In TurboTax Online, if you only check off “Medical receipts - 2022”, then it doesn’t ask for dates on your receipts because it assumes that all your receipts will be for 2022. Therefore, your claim period *must* be the 2022 calendar year.
You will only be asked for dates if you also checked off “Medical receipts - 2021 (Unclaimed receipts only)”.
So, the real problem is that TurboTax should not allow you to change the claim period unless you have entered amounts from the previous year. If you change it without having dates on the receipts, it has no idea which expenses are within the time frame chosen.
I will let the developers know about this issue. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
