Deductions & credits

(Edited 12/31/19 @ 11:14AM EST)

Life insurance is not deductible.  Cancer policies that pay a set amount like AFLAC are not deductible.

 

Prescription plans and medicare G  are tax-deductible.  If you have a cancer rider on your policy that gives you extra coverage to pay for cancer care, this would be deductible.
