In the state of Alabama, can the premiums for my health insurance be deducted or can I only count doctor's visits, medications, etc?

Maybe.

 

"Alabama resident taxpayers may deduct from Alabama gross income 100 percent of the amounts that they pay as health insurance premiums as part of an employer provided health insurance plan who are employed by an employer that has less than 25 employees and earns no more than $50,000 of wages and reports no more than $75,000 of adjusted gross income on their Alabama individual income tax return or $150,000 if married filing joint."

 

Alabama Department of Revenue - Form 40 Booklet (page 16)

 

Premiums paid by an employer-sponsored health insurance plan (cafeteria plan) are not deductible.

 

If your insurance provider paid your doctor or dentist directly for part of your medical expenses and you paid only the amount that remained, include in your medical expenses ONLY the amount you paid.
