Hockey Dad,

My wife says that CPA stands for Certified Pain in her Ass so forgive me if I appear that way but I am still not clear on whether or not you could use your insurance premiums in the total for medical expenses as you have said 2 things that I find confusing....

"The premiums are excluded from fed wages" and "It is a fluke that the company I work for has us pay our premiums and deduct it from our annual bonus."

If your wages are taxed for SS after your insurance premiums are excluded then you can't deduct them "twice". If you are saying that they just reduce your pay check after all taxes which are based upon your gross pay then you can deduct them.

I don't understand the last statement.

Just trying to help but that doesn't make my wife feel better either. lol
