SSA-1099: What do I do if I have an amount in box 3 that states "paid by check or direct deposit"? Is that deductable or where do I put the total?

No, that is your gross benefits - that number does not get entered into TurboTax, and it is not deductible. Enter your SSA-1099 using these instructions and only enter the boxes we ask you for. All the pertinent information will be captured. You only need to enter Box 5, Box 6, and your Medicare premiums.
