COBRA Premiums. Health insurance premiums that you pay out-of-pocket count as a deductible medical expense. COBRA premiums count as a deductible health insurance premium as long as you're paying the premiums yourself. If your employer is still subsidizing your premium, you can't deduct that portion. For example, say your premium would be $400 per month, but your employer subsidizes $50 of it so you only pay $350.
If you didnât pay for health insurance, you canât take a tax deduction for it. If your employer pays your health insurance premiums, you canât deduct those costs. However, if an employer only pays for part of your premiums, you still may be able to claim a tax deduction for the portion you paid.f you are able to write-off your health insurance, there are limits to how much of your premiums you can write off. If youâre able to claim your health insurance as a medical expense deduction, you can only deduct medical expenses that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (7.5% if youâre 65 or older).
