Tax Planner 2020 - Allowable medical deductions calculation needs update

Tax Planner is using 10% of AGI to calculate Allowable Medical Deductions. I don't see a way to change to the current rate of 7.5% nor can I fill in the field manually. Any suggestions?

    Went looking. Found a Turbotax item that says it will increase to 10% in 2020. IRS not yet caught up in their Publications, I guess! Thanks very much.

    And then several tax advisors say 7.5% was extended to both 2019 and 2020 tax years. So maybe the IRS is right and Turbotax wrong.

    Hi @tlbenning.

    The 10% rate is correct for 2019 and all following years.  It was lowered to 7.5% only for '17 and '18.

    My 2019 return shows 7.5% on Schedule A Line 3. What does yours say? IRS Publication 502 says 7.5%. Please provide a link if you have access to newer information.
