Medicare Premium

The medical comparison for 2021 vs. 2022 on the Deductions and Credits page is significantly different year to year even though all individual medical category values were similar year to year.  It is significantly different because the Medicare taken out of Social Security is added to the Medical Deductions final total in 2022 summary but not in 2021 summary.  Because of this, the refund is all of my estimated taxes (taxable income now 0). This seems like a mistake since this was not the case in 2021 or any prior year.  

Was there a tax change or is this an error in TurboTax?

 

For Turbo Tax 22, under Personal, Deductions, Medical "How much did you spend on insurance premiums", I only entered values in excess of the Medicare benefits taken out of Social Security.  The Medicare benefits were entered on the Social Security page.   The "how much did you spend..." page indicates those Medicare values that were previously entered as a sentence (not editable there).  But like I said, they are added to the Medical Deductions.
