Medicare Part B and Part D Premiums

Rick9464 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 11:14:46 GMT

My spouse started Medicare in June 2023. She is not on Social Security so we pay directly to Medicare the monthly premiums. Because she is not on SSA we do not receive a SSA 1099. I am at the section now in Turbo tax and I dont see anywhere to list her payments. Since I am on SSA, I receive a SSA1099 and my information is recorded when I get to that section cause I input the SSA1099 in the income section.

So my question is where do I record her payments to Medicare? also her supplemental policy payments?

Should I just list it in the sections labeled: "other medical expenses"? Any help or guidance is appreciated.

If you itemize those expenses are medical insurance premiums and are entered in the medical insurance section of your itemized medical deductions. You can only deduct an amount of total medical expenses greater than 7.5% of your AGI.

Thank you Champ. I do not itemize on the Federal Return as I dont meet that medical percentage. However, I input this information as it applies to my state return.

What I have chosen to do is input my wife's' Medicare insurance/IRMA expenses in the "how much did you spend in insurance premiums section" and input her expenses under sub category "additional medical insurance premiums". Doing it this way, all was accepted correctly.
