Deductions & credits

To be clear, are you planning to sign up for Medicaid with a share of the cost of premiums? Medicaid premiums vary by state and income, and may also include cost-sharing requirements. 

 

Reimbursement for premiums paid would not be taxable unless you already took a medical expense deduction on your tax return for the premiums.

 

If you have medical expenses that are reimbursed by a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), you can't include those expenses in your medical expenses.

 

See IRS Publication 502 for more information about the tax aspects of medical expenses.
