Is the amount of employee required contribution for an employer provided health plan deductible?

[Mike9241]

It was likely taken out of your paycheck, reducing your taxable wages on your W-2, so it's already been deducted from your income.  However, only your employer can tell you for certain.

No, generally employee contributions to their employer sponsored health plans are made with pre-tax dollars(meaning that amount is not subject to income or payroll taxes) deducted from their paycheck. This reduces your taxable income, providing an immediate tax benefit rather than a deduction taken later on your tax return.
