Why isn't Turbo Tax subtracting my Part B Medicare premiums from my total Medicare earnings?

Where do you expect them to be subtracted?   What are Medicare earnings?  You mean your Social Security SSA-1099?   Medicare part B is only a Schedule A medical deduction if you itemize and don’t take the Standard Deduction.

The Medicare Part B premiums are entered on Schedule A as an itemized deduction.  They do NOT reduce your Social Security benefits reported to you on the SSA-1099 in box 5.  Look at your Social Security statement.
