If you are entering medical expenses as an itemized deduction then you can enter the supplemental insurance you pay out of pocket as a medical expense. If it is paid from your Social Security benefits you do not need to enter it because when you enter your SSA1099 the amount paid for Medicare flows to the medical expense section.
MEDICAL EXPENSES
The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.) expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2019—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 Expense
