Usually, the premiums you pay on an individual health insurance policy won't be deductible. However, if you itemize deductions on Schedule A, and your unreimbursed medical expenses exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI) in any tax year, you may be able to take a deduction. You can deduct the amount by which your unreimbursed medical expenses exceed this 10 percent threshold. Note: The threshold for the medical expense deduction is 7.5 percent of AGI for those age 65 and older until 2017 at which time it increases to 10 percent. For example, if your AGI is $100,000, then 10 percent of your AGI is $10,000.
