Retirement tax questions

Amounts that are deducted from your benefits as Medicare payments can be reported on Schedule A [not on Schedule C as I originally mistakenly typed] as itemized medical expenses,  However, only medical expenses in excess of 10% of AGI are deductible and to benefit from the deduction your total itemized deductions need to exceed your standard deduction, otherwise you'll just use the standard deduction.
