where do i enter health insurance premiums $$ as shown on 1099-R

Health insurance premiums are shown in Box 5 of a 1099-R  

  • They should be entered with the 1099-R. 
  • The interview will ask for the Box 5 insurance premium amount.
  • This will be carried to Schedule A

Only enter it on the 1099R entry screen.  1099R box 5 can be used for other things and not just health insurance.  But box 5 is usually a pretax deduction from the amount in box 1 and can not be used as a schedule A itemized deduction.  Is box 2a less than box 1?  The difference is usually the amount in box 5.
