I have an unknown amount showing in the medical expenses section of the Sch A. I have removed all entries related to medical expenses and deleted all K-1 imports, and I cannot find where this amount is feeding in from. When I click the amount it brings me to the K-1 entry, but there is nothing there. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Did you enter a 1095-A for Marketplace insurance?  Or a SSA-1099 for Social Security?

Does your client itemize, so it would matter?  Does your client have enough medical expenses that it would be exceed the 7.5% limit for Itemized deductions?  If not, I would just ignore it.

You could delete the K-1 to check if it does away, then re-enter the K-1.  But that may be too much work.  If you don't think it is a valid deduction, you could just enter a negative amount to offset it (but I realize you may be trying to figure out IF it is a valid deduction or not).

Thank you so much! It was the 1095-A!

If there is self-employment income, the medical costs would be showing as deductible up to the amount of that income. The balance is seen as a medical itemized deduction. That isn't necessarily wrong.
