Entering 1099-R info, Line item 5, do I enter my insurance premiums taken out of my pension here?

[MargaretL]

You can enter your insurance premiums in box 5 only if they are listed there on the actual form 1099-R.  The form must be entered into the program exactly as it appears.

However, you can enter your insurance premiums as medical expenses if they are paid with post-tax dollars:

1. Federal Taxes
2. Deductions and Credits
3. Scroll down to Medical, select Medical Expenses, enter the total amount for all medical insurance premiums that you paid
