Deductions & credits

If you paid for health insurance premiums with after-tax dollars, you will need to find out if the policy is an HDHP policy under the IRS's rules.

 

Enter this deduction ONLY if

  • your paid health insurance premiums with after-tax dollars (as I noted, not the usual case) AND if
  • your health insurance company says that your policy is an HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan) under the IRS rules (they will know).
  • Otherwise, don't enter anything.

 

There is more to being an HDHP than just the premiums and limits. You will be better off just asking your health insurer carrier.
