Where do Part D premiums show in Box 3 of the SSA-1099? I see Part B but not Part D, just some labeled "Nontaxable payments"

This information explains who receives Part D, you may not receive these benefits because the enrollment is voluntary.

Anyone entitled to Medicare Part A (whether actually enrolled or not) or who is currently enrolled in Medicare Part B may join Medicare Part D to get help paying prescription drug costs. Enrollment is voluntary except for people who also receive benefits from Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California). 

If you qualify for Medicaid, the government automatically enrolls you in a Medicare Part D plan through which you will receive your prescription drug coverage. For more information about Medicare Part D use the link here.

Also, your part D payments won't show on your SSA-1099 if you are paying some provider separately.  Only part D payments deducted from your SSA deposit would show up on the SSA-1099 itself.
