Does Q2013 Separate Doctors & Hospital For Tax Reporting?

I would only expect Tax Item segregation to the extent that there are separate places for it in tax forms. I only see one line on Sch A for medical expenses (Sch A, Line 1).

Segregation between Doctors & Hospitals would be in your Q file. You'd create one category for each & those Q categories would both be associated with the Tax Item "Schedule A:Doctors, dentists, hospitals"

Hi, Arnie.

Once upon a time, Form 1040's Schedule A (Itemized Deductions) required several lines for details of our medical expenses, but the 2013 form wants only a single total amount (as Brett said).

For my own purposes, I still want some details, like how much was for dentists, how much for health insurance (including Medicare premiums), how much we received in benefits...etc. So I use several of the Categories that Quicken provides. I know they will all get combined by TurboTax, but I can still look at them and/or print them out for my own use.

Quicken's developers made guesses as to which Categories we users might want to have, and many of their suggestions are Right On - but others miss the boat, so I feel free to use them or not, or to create my own categories.

The only important part, so far as the IRS is concerned, is that I be able to substantiate the TOTAL amount that I actually put onto my return - IF my return is audited.

When I set up a category in Q2012 and select the Tax Reporting Tab, one of the options is Doctors, Dentists and Hospitals. Does Q2013 have separate classifications for Doctors & Hospitals or are they still lumped together?
