Hello. Yes, you can deduct medical insurance premiums that you paid for yourself even if it's not on the 1099-R. The portion that isn't deductible is any of the insurance premiums paid by an employer.

You will report the amounts not on the 1099-R, but on the "Deductions & Credits" section. There will be a section for "Medical Expenses."

The medical expenses will appear on Schedule A if your deduction is large enough to itemize. Otherwise you'll be taking the standard deduction. If you are taking the standard deduction then you won't have the Schedule A with your tax return.
