How do you enter a medical expense on the provincial return and not on the federal?

Hello, I’ve seemingly found a bug in your system when it comes to preparing Quebec provincial taxes. There are medical expenses that you can claim on the pronvincial report and not on the federal report. In this case it is box J on the RL-1 (paid premiums to an insurance plan) that should be considered as a medical expense but there is no option to enter it only on the Quebec return. Please advise, technical support did not help with the issue

Premiums paid for private insurance are eligible medical expenses on the federal return as well. 

If you suspect you have other expenses that are only eligible in QC (not federally), check CRA's 2018 list of eligible medical expenses as many past QC-only expenses are now accepted federally too.
