I am self-employed with no health insurance. If I am covered by my husband's work policy, can I still claim a deduction for those premiums that cover me?

Deductions & credits

If you are covered through your husband's policy that her receives through his employer, then the premiums for your insurance are probably paid with pre-tax dollars.  You cannot take a deduction for something paid for with pre-tax dollars.  The amount paid has already been deducted from taxable income.
