Are health insurance premiums that I pay and are deducted from my paycheck paid with after-tax dollars?

davidgherron asked:


My health insurance is through my employer but I have to pay part of the premium and it is deducted from my paycheck each pay period. I am filing my taxes and am being asked if the premiums are paid for with after-tax dollars. Any answers?

    They are with after-tax dollars unless you are participating in a section 125 plan or the like.

    My paystub youd have to ask whomever does the amount taken from you.
    The payroll at your paystub youd have to confirm how the amount taken from you.

    Your pay stub should have a break down of what went where.
    Taxes are usually taken out first thing, then other things such as credit union, health ins. and so on.
    Medical expenses, including ins. are deductible IF they exceed a certain % of you income (long form).
    And simple enough, you may be able to ask your employer or someone that does payroll. (Hope you get a refund:)

    You should be able to tell from your pay statements. If you can’t, ask your employer.

    It could be either way depending on what kind of plan your employer has set up.
