Deductions

How are reimbursements of Medicare Part B premiums, deducted from my Social Security, entered in TurboTax?  Reimbursements are coming from an HRA, Health Reimbursement Arrangement.

    Medicare Reimbursements are not taxable because you have already reported your full social security benefit, including the Medicare Part B premiums. 

     

    if you claimed medical premiums as itemized deductions, you will need to list it as a medical reimbursement when entering medical expenses.  If you are claiming a standard deduction, then this would not be entered anywhere.
