Deductions & credits

Which insurance costs are you referring to?

 

Health insurance premiums are deductible only if they were paid for with after-tax dollars. Nearly all employer-sponsored insurance premiums (code DD in box 12 of the W-2) are paid for with pre-tax dollars so are not deductible on Schedule A.

 

Long-term care premiums are limited separately than other insurance premiums, so while you should enter them, they may not appear to be as much as you expect.

 

In Schedule A, you are asked to enter ALL medical bills, then you are asked what the insurance reimbursement is. 

 

If none of this makes sense, please came back and tell us what insurance costs you are referring to.
