Can I deduct my medical insurance premium if I get reimbursed from my VEBA account?

[HelenaC]

No, you cannot deduct medical insurance premiums if you got reimbursed from your Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) account. Contributions to your account are made pre-tax, the earnings are tax-free and reimbursements are tax-free.

Your employer contributes money to your VEBA Health Savings Plan and you don’t have to pay taxes on the contributions. Then, that non-taxable money is paid back to you as reimbursement for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses that you incurred for yourself and, if any, your spouse or your dependents.
