Yes, if you are itemizing your deductions on Schedule A, you can deduct your out of pocket costs for Health Insurance. Keep in mind, you cannot deduct any pre-tax Health Insurance premiums withheld from your paycheck. If you are retired you can deduct any after-tax Health Insurance Premiums paid through your retirement plan and Medicare paid through your Social Security Benefits.
The amount of your medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your adjusted gross income will be a deduction on your Schedule A. For more details, check out this TurboTax
