Did you enter a SSA1099? If you entered Social Security benefits, the amount paid from your benefits for Medicare flowed automatically to the medical expenses.
You are correct. I see that the SSA1099 entry was similar last year but I must not have noticed then and it does not appear in the 2024 column on the Your Tax Breaks page like the 2025 amount does. Now, when I look at the Tax Summary on Tools I see that the Medicare amount is not counted as an itemized deduction presumably because it is under 7.5% of income. It would be nice to see the full 7.5% test and the "income" amount on the first screen when you edit that Medical Expenses row OR at the end of entering expenses and it returns to say that your expenses will not be counted as a deduction. My Medicare amount and other medical expenses are NOT one of My Tax Breaks in this case.
