You don't have to be concerned with the federal side of this because interest from obligations of the federal government is fully taxable by the federal government.   Re the State of Georgia, interest from federal government securities are exempt from state taxation but you may have to enter that in the State section of the program. You should also note that some states make a distinction (or have made one in the past) between dividends paid out of a mutual fund and interest paid directly from the federal government (e.g., where you would directly own U.S. Treasuries).

Since it was paid in 2025 then it is a valid medical expense to be entered as an itemized deduction on the 2025 Schedule A.  There is no need to designate this payment as for 2026 Medicare premium.   Health care insurance premiums, including dental and vision insurance premiums, and other medical expenses that you paid with out of pocket funds and were not reimbursed are an eligible medical expense that you can deduct using Schedule A for itemized deductions. However, only your total medical expenses that are greater than 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) can be deducted. Your total itemized deductions reported on Form 1040 Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.

You cannot file a joint return with a parent.   A joint return is only filed with a legal spouse.   Your mom might be your "qualified relative" dependent for whom you can get the non-refundable $500 credit for other dependents, and perhaps Head of Household filing status.   IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed: https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/who-can-i-claim-as-a-dependent       Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5200 in 2025 (not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support. When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
