CalSTRS reimburses Medicare premiums paid by retirees. The reimbursements do not show up on 1099-R as income. They have never been taxable per CalSTRS representative. TurboTx picked up Medicare deductions from my social security on 1099 SSA as an expense. It was fully reimbursed by CalSTRS. How do I deal with it so that expense is gone and reimbursement is nullified, not taxed.

If you are fully reimbursed for the Medicare premiums then remove those premiums where they were entered from the SSA-1099. The reimbursement is not taxable but you cannot take the deduction for a reimbursed expense.
