Tax Question: If I pay my own health insurance premiums, is it tax deductible?
I do not get the health insurance that is offered through my employer. I get my health insurance on my own and pay for it with my money that taxes have already been taken from. So I am paying with Post-income taxed money.

It sounds as though you may be able to as long as you itemize and meet all the other criteria. See the link below for more details.

It could be tax deductible under the medical deductions if you itemize and it is over 7.5% of your AGI


Molly
Yes, they are!

However, they are subject to excluding amounts less than 7.5% of AGI.

See the instructions for schedule A concerning this.


blondie172
Your medical expenses have to exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. For example, if your income is $10,000 - you can only deduct the expense portion that is greater than $750. If your total expenses are $2,000 - your deduction is $1250.

If you don't itemize, you might want to look into opening a HSA (health savings plan.) The account is paid with pretax dollars, so it may or may not be beneficial for you. Seek advice from a financial advisor for more info.

Yes, there's a certain minimum amount. I can't remember what the amount is, it's around 7.5% of your income. Turbo Tax does ask this question as part of it's deduction finder. You can also add in the amount you paid for co-pay on your doctor's visits and bills.

If it is, I'm gonna kick my own butt for not looking into it back in the day when I was paying out of my pocket for it. Good luck, dude.

Yes, all money paid for medical costs, including medical insurance, co-pays, rx, etc can all be tallyed and serve as a deduction in your income taxes. However, there is a certain amount that is stated as a percent of your income that the total has to hit before it can count as a deduction. I think it is something like 10% of your gross income, which for most people is a lot.

I've done the same... I'm told I can't deduct by my tax preparer. Sorry.


Nette
You can take it out if you itemize your deductions, if it's over a certain percentage of your income. It's always best to get Tax software to determine if it's best to itemize or not.
