Both amounts are listed under deductions. I am trying to figure out if I qualify for the $3,000 Public Safety credit. When an PSO reaches a certain management level, the portion that the disability retiree would normally pay is covered by the employer as a benefit. I guess that is why they are calling it a subsidy. So, I am guessing since it offsets the exact amount deducted on the paycheck that I don't qualify for the $3k because I am not actually paying the premiums even though they are a deduction. I thought I could take the deduction as a medical expense and the subsidy as a deduction from medical expense as a reimbursement. However, when I looked at it more closely the language states reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by insurance company. These are not medical expenses; they are premiums, and the reimbursement is not from the insurance company it is from the employer. What is your take on this?
