I received a form 1095-C with line 15 (Employee required contributions) $amounts that are not listed on my w2? Where can I add the amounts deducted?

What are you trying to do? You do not enter a 1095C on a tax return. Not anywhere. You only enter a 1095A -- which you would have if your health insurance came from the marketplace--or healthcare.gov.

You do not enter a 1095B or a 1095C on a tax return at all.

I have read that, I am just unsure where those numbers came from and if it was amount I paid, it would be deductible. However, I’ve come to conclusion that those are just random numbers and were never deducted from my pay.

Form 1095-C comes from your employer. You can ask them to explain the numbers. I'm sure the numbers are not random.

Amounts that are deducted from your pay for health insurance are not necessarily tax deductible. In most cases they are not deductible.

Look at a pay stub, not your W-2, to see if health insurance premiums were deducted from your pay, or ask your employer. The W-2 normally does not show health insurance premiums.

In almost all cases, the wages on your W-2 are already adjusted for the amount of employee contributions for health insurance. You do not enter the employee contributions anywhere in your tax return.
