Deductions & credits

It depends. If you are paying the premium with AFTER tax dollars and you are itemizing your return, you can include the long term disability as a medical expense.  

If the premiums are being taking out before taxes or you are not itemizing your return, then no, you cannot claim a deduction for the long term disability insurance.
