Medicare Part A premiums are not deductible if you're covered under Social Security or if you're a government employee who paid Medicare tax.
However, if you're not covered under Social Security (nor a government employee who paid Medicare tax) and you voluntarily enrolled in Medicare A, you can deduct those premiums.
Premiums for the other Medicare programs – Part B (supplemental medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage), and Part D (voluntary prescription drug insurance) – are deductible.
Medical, dental, and vision expenses are reported on Schedule A and entered in the Deductions & Credits section:
If you're using Federal Free Edition or Basic and your medical expenses are large enough that you would benefit from itemizing deductions, you'll be prompted to upgrade to Deluxe, as the Federal Free and Basic versions do not handle Schedule A.
