Why isn't the Medicare Part B premium paid to SSA deducted from income?

i entered the gross, then entered the $2041.20paid for Medicare premium, but it was not deducted. i have never seen that before?

My guy now has to apparently pay twice for Medicare, it seems.

he is filing married, separate. not sure if that matters

Its not deducted from income, its part of itemized deductions. You should see it included in the Medical Expenses section of Sch A

Lisa,

thank you for your decent reply. He cannot itemize. all he has is SSD and and and a pension. he is totally disabled, so he has nothing else. i double checked. all his SSA income is taxable if he files married separate.

85% of SS is taxable.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Do you think it should be deductible because your client is self-employed?

It has always been that way so I'm curious where you have seen it being handled differently before.

Doesn't everyone? You pay in to Medicare all your working life and then when you turn 65 you get to pay Medicare premiums on top of that.

Rick... can't argue with you on that 🙂

I was thinking that it not being deductible doesn't mean you are 'paying twice'
