Can You Claim Health Insurance On Taxes? 
You may be able to claim health insurance premiums on your taxes . If you pay your premiums at work via a pretax payroll contribution , you are already receiving a tax benefit , and these expenses would not be deductible . If you are self employed you can take the deduction on line 29 of form 1040 . If your plan provides for reimbursement directly to providers -LRB- most traditional plans do , while supplemental plans do not -RRB- , you can deduct the premiums on Schedule A as part of un-reimbursed medical expenses . Keep in mind that tax savings do n't begin until your deductible medical expenses reach ten percent of your adjusted gross income .
