If you are receiving Social Security benefits, then the premium amounts for Medicare deducted from your monthly Social Security checks are on the SSA1099 you got from Social Security. When you enter the SSA1099, those figures already go to the medical expense section of your tax return, so do not double enter them. Your supplemental amount for United HC can be entered under medical expenses, though.
The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical expenses that will count toward itemization for someone under 65 is the amount that is OVER 10% of your adjusted gross income; for someone 65 or older it would be the amount over 7.5% of your AGI.
You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2016—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding. Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.
To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses
