If your Med Ins Prems are not paid by you in "after tax dollars" then they will not be included in what you can deduct. I would have to see either your pay stub or your W-2 or know more about your statement..."The premiums are excluded from fed wages."
True about the documentation but one's "average" chances of being audited are less than 2% so do your best but don't stress out over this. Also, absent fraud, the IRS can only audit your return generally for 3 years.
