You can deduct your health insurance premiums on your return if you paid for the premiums with after tax dollars. Medical expenses are an itemized deduction on Schedule A and are deductible to the extent they exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).  Please click here for more information: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502.html

    If you are 65 or over, they are deductible to the extent they exceed 7.5%, not 10% of your AGI.
