Best Answer

No, you cannot claim a tax deduction for health insurance if you are paying for the plan through an employer's "cafeteria plan". The cafeteria plan is taking the money from your paycheck before any taxes are applied, so you are already getting the cost paid with tax-free dollars. You cannot claim it twice.

It is a deduction. If you have your insurance deducted from your paycheck then it will show when you get you tax papers from your employer at the end of the year. If not then you will need to do the "long form" and not the EZ Form at tax time. If unsure have a Tax office so it for you. But the answer is YES.

You recently received proceeds from an business insurance damage claim Are these proceeds taxable?

To get to the route of what your asking: The amount of the LOSS that is deductible is the unrecovered loss. Hence if you have claimed the entire loss as a deduction the amount of insurance you get is income - because essentially, you overdeducted the loss. If you have made no loss deduction claim, then u=insurance is NOT taxable as it is onlyr returning you to the position you were in before the loss.
