If you receive Social Security benefits, your Medicare is deducted from your SS.   When you enter the SSA1099 for your Social Security, the amount paid for Medicare flows automatically to the medical expense section of the software, so do not enter it again.

Yes, this is a deductible medical expense if you are itemizing your deductions instead of using the standard deduction. Like xmasbaby0 states above, enter your Social Security form just like it is reported and TurboTax will include your Medicare B premiums as a medical expenses.
