I paid full health insurance premiums while on a 2 1/2 month leave of absence from my job. I did not return to work, is the premium i paid a health care expense/deduction that can be considered a medical expense?

Yes it is. You would add that to your itemized deductions on Schedule A of Form 1040. To enter those expenses in Turbo Tax follow these steps...

In your Turbo Tax program, use the search box located in the upper right hand side of the screen. Type in "medical insurance". When you do this, the first link is "Jump to medical insurance"...click that link. From here Turbo Tax will ask you questions about your medical expenses that were paid in 2016, including insurance premiums.
