As an employee, you're limited to deducting health insurance
along with other itemized medical expenses on Schedule A.
Generally you need to be very sick or have low income to get
a usable deduction.

I apologize the question if it has been asked before in the
group, but I could not find a clear answer to my situation.

I work on a hourly basis for a company that offers me NO
benefits in terms of Health Insurance. As a result, I pay
for my own. The payroll system is set up through ADP and
the health benefits are also offered through ADP that I then
purchase on a monthly basis.

Can I deduct this expense for health insurance premiums?
Does it show up in a box on the W2 from ADP? If so, what
box number would that be?

Thanks for your help,
Sean
