SSA 1099

My SSA-1099 form only has 8 boxes. Box 5 is the net benefit. Box 3 shows Medicare Part B premiums. Where in TurboTax do I enter these Medicare premiums?

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

You will enter the Medicare premiums on the same screen where you enter the SSA1099. The Medicare premiums you paid will automatically flow to medical expenses. So in case you are itemizing medical expenses, do not enter those premiums again---they will already be there from the SSA1099 entry.

It's not really in box 3. Box 3 is the gross amount up above. You enter the Medicare on the same screen as the rest of the SSA-1099. Do you get this screen? See my screen shots at the bottom of this one

Medicare part B go in the 3rd box down.
