Yes but you can NOT deduct the medical expenses that are paid for from your FSA account.
As long as you meet the guidelines to be able to deduct medical expenses, payments for private insurance are deductable.
No. Not unless the individuals living circumstances change (e.g.: the recepient goes to prison and no longer needs the supplement payment).
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.
It's not a medical expense until it is paid. The year you pay it is the year you can deduct it.
You can include in medical expenses the cost of a hearing aid and the batteries you buy to operate it. If you itemize your deductions using the Form 1040, Schedule A itemized deductions, you may be able to deduct your UNREIMBURSED medical expenses you paid during the year for medical care. You can only include the UNREIMBURSED medical expenses you paid during the year. Your total medical expenses for the year must be reduced by any reimbursement. You may deduct only the amount by which your total UNREIMBURSED medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040 Schedule A in computing the amount deductible. You can find the below information by going to the IRS gov website and using the search box for Publication 502 (2009), Medical and Dental Expenses
