    Tax question about student health fees
    So, I'm using turbo tax to do my taxes this year. I have a question about one thing though. For the education section where it asks me all about my student fees, it says that I cannot include the mandatory student health fees that I have to pay every semester. But in another section where it walks me through all of my medical and dental stuff and asks me about co-pays, prescriptions, etc. it asks me if there are any other medical payments. Would the student health fees count there? Or do I just not put them anywhere? Thanks.

    Just don't want this buried in the unanswered questions. :)

    Yes, you CAN put the medical fees in with the rest of your medical costs, because the medical fees normally pay for basic medical insurance for the student, and medical insurance IS a deductible medical expense if they are paid with after-tax dollars.
