No, you cannot claim a self-employed deduction for health insurance premiums for any month in which you were eligible to participate in an employer's health plan even if you declined that coverage. However, the premiums may be claimed as a medical expense on Schedule A instead.

For more information, see the following TurboTax help article under 'self-employed health insurance deduction':
