Deductions & credits

Do you receive Social Security benefits and have Medicare premiums deducted from your Social Security payments? TurboTax automatically adds the Medicare premiums on your Form SSA-1099 to your medical expenses. (You should enter the premiums only in the SSA-1099. You should not enter them under medical expenses.)


Did you claim the self-employed health insurance deduction? If you could not claim the full amount as self-employed health insurance because your net self-employment income was too low, TurboTax automatically adds the excess to the medical expenses on Schedule A.


Obviously these are just guesses because we cannot see your tax returns, but they are common situations where something is added to your medical expenses that you did not enter directly.


When you say "According to Turbo Tax I entered $35182.00," where exactly do you see that amount in TurboTax? On your 2021 tax return, what is the exact amount on Schedule A line 1?
