Are the premiums I pay for my Medicare (Med-a-gap) Supplement deductible on Schedule A and where do I enter the amount in TurboTax Deluxe?

[LindaA · Accepted solution]

If you itemize deductions (Schedule A), you may claim out-of-pocket medical expenses, including premiums for supplemental medical insurance. The deduction is limited to the expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). 

To enter supplemental medical insurance premiums:

• Continue your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
• Click the drop-down arrow next to Tax Tools (lower left of your screen).
• Select Tools.
• In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
• In the I'm looking for: box, type medical expenses.
• In the results box, highlight medical expenses, sch a, then click GO.
• Follow the onscreen instructions. Medical expenses are divided into numerous categories: prescription medications, medical professionals, medical facility fees, x-ray and lab work fees, long term care services, eye care expenses, medical supplies and equipment, medical travel, insurance premiums, and other medical expenses.

Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function and the "Jump to" link (instead of "Tax Tools") to search for the topic.
