How did you pay them? When you enter a SSA-1099 they automatically go to Medical. Or do you want to enter them as self employment expense?
For Self Employment.........Medicare plan B payments are qualified as Self-employed medical insurance premiums and should be entered under Business instead of in the Social Security Benefits entry area. So go back and take it off your SSA-1099 entry.
Self-employed health insurance deduction goes on Form 1040 schedule 1 line 17, as long as the expense is not greater than your net self-employment income. If it does exceed your net self-employment income it gets split automatically. An amount equal to your net self-employment income goes on Form 1040 Schedule 1 line 17, and the remainder gets added in to medical expenses on Schedule A.
