Depends on how you paid the premiums. If you paid the premiums on a pretax basis, then you cannot declare the premiums. Many COBRA payments, retiree insurance payments and so on can be deducted.

Yes, beginning in tax year 2010, you can deduct health insurance premiums when arriving at income subject to SE tax.
Generally as personally owned life insurance you would not deduct the premiums on your taxes. This would make the normally nontaxable death benefit subject to taxation.
Generally, the premiums are not deductible, and benefits would not be taxable income.

You will always want to deduct any taxes that are paid out of your income. You can also deduct premiums for life insurance, as well as other types of insurance.
I am not finding an answer to my question---Are the premiums on my medicare supplement tax deductable? Please help!
If you file Schedule A (long form) you can deduct your health insurance premiums as a medical expense. If you pay this through your employer, most likely you have it paid from pre-tax income such as through a cafeteria plan, then you are not allowed to deduct the premiums.
No. Also, it is probably not a good idea to try and deduct the premiums for diability or life insurance because if you deduct the premiums or if the employer pays the premiums then any benefits are then taxable. You certainly would not want to have to pay income tax on a large life insurance benefit just because you wanted to deduct a few hundred dollars of insurance premiums.
No.
No, insurance is not deductable.
