Does Health Insurance Count As Income? 
Great question ! The only way that it can be considered income is if your employer pays your premium with after tax dollars . Your W2 will show the amount of your share in your wages line , and if so , you can deduct that portion on your Schedule A tax form as a medical expense . If it 's not included , -LRB- and it usually is n't -RRB- your employer has paid with pre-tax dollars , and given you a break on your taxes already . That is the case nearly all of the time . Thanks for asking !
