Can I deduct medicare advantage premiums?

Yes.  A subtraction is available for medical care insurance.  Medical care insurance for this purpose does not include premiums for:

• Long-term care insurance.
• Life insurance policies.
• Policies proving payment for loss of earnings.
• Policies for loss of life, limb, sight, etc.
• Policies that pay a guaranteed amount each week for a stated number of weeks because of hospitalization.
• The part of car insurance premiums that provide medical insurance coverage for all persons injured in or by the car.
• Medical care insurance if the taxpayer elected to pay the premiums with tax-free distributions from a retirement plan.
