Self Employed Medical Insurance Premium deduction

I am retired and receive retirement benefits from my previous employer. I am now self-employed using a LLC as my type of business. Can I deduct my medical insurance premiums, if they are deducted from my retirement benefit payments?

No. If it is employer sponsored coverage, you cannot deduct it as self-employed health insurance. For any month that you are eligible to participate in employer sponsored coverage you cannot take the self-employed health insurance deduction.
