I know for a fact it wasn’t taken out pretax. My employer said it wasn’t taken out pretax. He asked his CPA if it was suppose to be pretax and he told him that it wasn’t unless it was a cafeteria plan, which it isn’t. I thought every health insurance premium was taken out pretax but I was wrong. My premium was over $5k and I need to be able to claim it and can’t imagine that I can’t, but so far it looks like I’m not going to be able to.
