Michigan deduction for medical insurance premiums when determining the amount of Homestead Property Credit

[joetamiroz]

Regarding the Michigan deduction for medical insurance premiums when determining the amount of my Homestead Property Credit, can I deduct these payments if they're pre-tax?

Pre-tax health insurance premiums are not deductible for purposes of the Homestead Property Tax Credit. Michigan lists premiums not deductible from total household resources:

• Premiums paid for the following types of plans may not be deducted except to the extent deducted to arrive at adjusted gross income:
• Premiums for long-term care
• Premiums for income replacement coverage, such as long-term disability plans
• Premiums for disability insurance policies
• Premiums for policies for loss of life, limb, sight, etc.
• Premiums paid by an employer with pre-tax contributions
