Yes you can deduct the amount you paid that wasn't on the SSA-1099 from SS. It is a Medical deduction if you itemize. The amount on your SSA-1099 will automatically flow over to schedule A deductions.
To enter Medical expenses just start typing Medical in the search box at the top of your return and pick "medical expenses, sch a" from the drop down list. Then click on Jump To at the top of the list.
OR
Enter Medical under
Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (for H&B)
Deductions and Credits
Then scroll way down to Medical
Then Medical Expenses - click Start or Update
You can only deduct the amount of unreimbursed Medical Expenses you actually paid over 7.5% of your AGI. So it might take a lot to be worth entering. And then all your itemized deductions have to be more than the standard deduction to get any benefit (so you would only be getting the benefit of the amount that puts you over the standard deduction). And since the Standard Deduction is increased more people will not need to Itemize.
For 2024 the standard deduction amounts are:
Single 14,600 + 1,950 for 65 and over or blind (16,550)
HOH 21,900 + 1,950 for 65 and over or blind (23,850)
Joint 29,200 + 1,550 for each 65 and over or blind (30,750/32,300)
Married filing Separate 14,600 + 1,550 for 65 and over or blind (16,150)
