No. Medical premiums paid are potential itemized deductions as medical expenses. While the medicare premiums Part B are withheld/deducted from the social security pay you actually received, they are still part of the benefits included in box 5.
Therefore any medicare premiums withheld are automatically entered as medical expenses in TurboTax. If you pay Part D and/or supplemental premiums out-of-pocket those too are potential itemized deductions, however, you must actually enter those amounts in the "Medical Expenses" topic.
Any medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income will be included in itemized deductions. If your itemized deductions exceed your standard deduction, itemized deductions will be selected/recommended by TurboTax.
