how do I enter medicare part b premiums paid 2025 with no ssa-1099? I did not receive SSA benefits in 2025.

[MinhT1 · Accepted solution]

In 2025, if you did not receive SSA benefits and did not receive a form SSA-1099, you can enter the Medicare Part B premiums as Medical Expenses.

For tax year 2025, Medical Expenses are subject to the 7.5% rule and you can only claim the excess over 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income.

Please note that Itemized Deductions will only benefit your taxes when they exceed your standard deduction.

For tax year 2025, standard deductions are:

• $31,500 for married couples whose filing status is “married filing jointly” and surviving spouses;
• $15,750 for singles and married couples whose filing status is “married filing separately”; and
• $23,625 for taxpayers whose filing status is “head of household.”

The additional standard deduction for a blind taxpayer—i.e. a taxpayer whose vision is less than 20/200— and for a taxpayer who is age 65 or older at the end of the year is for each instance:

• $1,600 for married individuals; and
• $2,000 for singles and heads of household.

A new, temporary additional deduction of $6,000 for those aged 65 and older (or $12,000 for a married couple if both qualify) is also available for tax years 2025 through 2028. The deduction begins to phase out at income greater than $75,000 and $150,000 if you’re married filing jointly. This is in addition to the standard deduction or itemized deductions.
