What are all the tax deductions this year concerning medication and Insurance?
I hope you mean the lack of tax deductions. The medical deductions are the same as they have been except the threshold has increased from 7.5% to 10% for most people. You can deduct insurance premiums you pay yourself with after-tax income. This means that the insurance you pay through your employers Section 125, Cafeteria, Section 403 employer, or other pre-tax plans are not deductible. You can claim your co-pays and deductibles but you can't deduct medical expenses paid by insurance.

Can your employer cancel your health insurance when you are on short term or long term disability because you did not make a payment on your insurance like is normally done through your paycheck?
Your employer's obligation to pay premiums normally stops when your paycheck does, that is, when your medical and personal leave is exhausted, and there is nothing left to deduct the premiums with. When that happens, the insurance company, not your employer, cancels your health insurance for lack of premiums. There are many ways to avoid this tragedy, including donation of leave by co-workers, if permitted, to keep the paychecks coming, or employer paying premiums for you until you are able to return to work. Good luck. JJ

Improper Deductions from Wages?
Under certain conditions, deductions from an employee’s predetermined amount of pay each pay period are permissible. These include: • For absences from work for one or more full days for personal reasons other than sickness or disability; • For absences of one or more full days due to sickness or disability if the deduction is made in accordance with a bona fide plan, policy or practice of providing compensation for salary lost due to illness; • To offset amounts employees receive as jury or witness fees, or for military pay; • For penalties imposed in good faith for infractions of safety rules of major significance; • For unpaid disciplinary suspensions of one or more full days imposed in good faith for workplace conduct rule infractions; • For weeks in which an exempt employee takes unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act; or • During the initial or terminal week of employment If an employer improperly deducts pay from an employee’s salary in violation of the Act, and such deduction is not inadvertent or an isolated incident, the result could be loss of an exemption. That is—the employer will lose the exemption if the employer has an “actual practice” of taking improper deductions from an exempt employee’s salary. If such an “actual practice” is established, the employer’s exemption is lost for the time period during which the deductions were made. Nonetheless, the Act includes a “safe harbor.” If an employer meets the requirements of the safe harbor, the exemption will not be lost unless the employer willfully violates the policy. To fall within the provisions of the safe harbor, the employer must: (1) has a clearly communicated policy prohibiting improper deductions, including a process to voice complaints, (2) reimburses employees for improper deductions, and (3) makes a good faith effort to comply with the Act in the future.
