Medicare supplement insurance

[GRBaker1298]

I have Medicare insurance automatically deducted from my Social Security check.

I also have a Supplemental  F policy that covers what Medicare does not cover, in addition to a policy for prescription medicine.

are these insurance premiums deductible?

[MargaretL]

Yes, they are deductible. Be aware, that since you are getting Social Security, the amount you have taken out of your SS for Medicare flows to the medical expenses in TurboTax, so do not enter that twice.

Where on the tax form do I show my premiums paid for Supplemental Medicare Plan F. It is deducted from my bank account, not taken from Social Security payments

[Bees]

It is part of schedule A  Itemized deductions. Remember that all your medical expenses have to add up to more than 7.5%  of your AGI to be deductible : so often it does not help you out.  And the standard deduction is now larger since there is no reduction in your taxable income for personal allowances.  But you can enter things as you did before 2018 and see.

Where do I enter Medicare type F supplement cost?

This is not taken out of my SS.

[DawnC]

Premiums for the other Medicare programs—Part B (supplemental medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage), and Part D (voluntary prescription drug insurance), and Medigap policies (Part F) —are deductible.   Follow the link below to enter those expenses.   There are multiple categories and Medigap policy premiums will be entered under the insurance premiums subcategory of the medical expenses section.  

• Where do I enter my medical expenses?

To deduct unreimbursed, out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision costs on your federal return:

• You must take the itemized deduction;
• The expenses for you, your jointly-filing spouse, and your dependent(s) must exceed 7.5% of your AGI (adjusted gross income); and
• Only the portion above and beyond 7.5% of your AGI is deductible.     @19Xzbvc976
