I have health insurance premiums for the year of 2016 and I have a 1095-B. Can I claim them as a deduction doing the long form ?

[WillK · Accepted solution]

It depends. If the medical premiums were paid with post tax dollars, then they can be included in your medical expenses for the year. Medical expenses are an itemized deduction on Schedule A and are deductible to the extent they exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). If you are 65 or over, they are deductible to the extent they exceed 7.5%  Please click here for more information: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502.html
