Yes, you may still be able to deduct Medicare Part B premiums even if you aren't self-employed.

Since you're retired and your Part B premiums are being deducted from your Social Security benefits, those premiums are considered medical expenses. You can include them with your other medical expenses on Schedule A if you itemize deductions.

Keep in mind:

Medical expenses are deductible only to the extent they exceed 7.5% of you adjusted gross income (AGI).
If you take the Standard Deduction, you won't receive a separate tax benefit for the premiums.
