Where can I enter medicare premiums?

[DianeW777]

It depends.  If  you have social security income you can enter them in the SSA-1099.  Otherwise you can enter then under health insurance premiums in the medical expenses.

• Search (upper right) > Type ssa1099 or medical expenses > Click the Jump to ... link > Continue to enter your medicare premiums.

Qualifications for self employed health insurance (includes medicare).

• To get health insurance deduction, your Schedule C must show a net profit.
• The deduction amount generally can't exceed your net profit amount.
• If you (or your spouse if filing jointly) were eligible to participate in an employer's health plan during any given month—even if you declined the coverage—the premium you paid for that month can't be claimed under this deduction.
• Health insurance premiums you paid for your child, even if you aren't claiming them as a dependent, are eligible for this deduction as long as your child was age 26 or younger at the end of 2023.
• The self-employed health insurance deduction shows up on Schedule 1, line 17.

1. When entering information for your business expanses. navigate to the section marked Less common (showing the icon of a magnifying glass with a dollar sign in it)
2. Find and select the option for Health Insurance Premiums (typically found on page 2 of the section), then click Continue
3. A screen showing your list of expenses should appear next. Select the Start button next to the Health Insurance Premiums section

I am receiving social security and my medicare deductions are listed on the SSA form, which I inputted.   I also have business income and want to show those premiums on my schedule C.  I added those premiums for my schedule C, but they still also show as Medical on Schedule A - 

How do I get rid of the duplication?

The only thing I can think of I stop leave them off the SSA input

Thanks

You would have to leave them off the social security benefits entry if you want them to be used for the self-employed health insurance deduction, as you mention by entering them in the self-employment section.
