Medicare Advantage Plan premiums would be deducted as a Medical Deduction on Schedule A. If you itemize your deductions for a taxable year on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF), Itemized Deductions, you may be able to deduct expenses you paid that year for medical
and dental care for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents. You
may deduct only the amount of your total medical expenses that exceed
10% of your adjusted gross income or 7.5% if you or your spouse is
65 or older. The 7.5% limitation is effective only from January 1,
2013 to December 31, 2016 for individuals age 65 and older and their
spouses. You figure the amount you are allowed to deduct on Form 1040,
Schedule A.
