My employer doesnt contribute to my short term and long term disability insurance, I pay the entire premium. Can I deduct that? Same situation with my vision insurance, I pay the entire premium.

    Disability income insurance premiums are usually not tax-deductible for individuals. The IRS considers these premiums a personal expense, similar to other types of individual insurance (e.g. car insurance, home insurance, etc.)
