Medical Deduction

I listed all the medical expenses including miles and came up with $13,000. When I entered into turbotax it stated that I had $19,000 in deductions and then when I looked at the comparison for last year it listed $21,000 for medical expenses. Why the discrepency?

You would expect that what you entered this year will be different from last year. The mileage allowance is bigger this year; there are also items which have a higher percentage of deductability than last year.
