Premiums paid out of pocket are deductible as a medical expense.
The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.) expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount you paid in 2022—do not include any amounts covered by insurance or still outstanding.
Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you see a difference in your tax due or refund.
To enter your medical expenses, go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses
