If you do not claim 100% of your self-employed health insurance deduction, you can include the remaining premiums with your other medical expenses as an itemized deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF).
Generally speaking you can deduct your medical expenses, your spouseâs expenses, or your dependentâs (such as a qualifying child or relative) if you itemize your tax deductions. What Medical Expenses Can I Deduct? Please keep in mind that you can only claim the amount of your medical expenses that exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Letâs say your AGI is $35,000. If your medical expenses for the year were $2,700 then you can deduct your expenses that were greater than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. However, if your medical and dental expenses were only $1,750 then you could not claim any, as they didnât meet the requirement. The IRS has a huge list of medical expenses that you can deduct. Some common ones I think many people use include: 1  Ambulance/Transportation. 2  Annual Physical Exam. 3  Breastpump. 4  Chiropractor. 5  Dental Treatment. 6  Insurance Premiums. 7  Medicine. 8  Psychologist.
