1) Most employer provided health insurance is deducted “pre-tax” so there is no deduction on the tax return.

2) Your parents must be your dependents (or would have been your dependents except for the gross income test) for you to take a deduction anyway. So, unless you are supporting them: No.

Question by greener_08: How do I get my nieces on my Health insurance plan?
My husband has health insurance through his employer. His brothers daughters don’t have any at all, and they live right next door to us so that are frequently here. Is there a way to allow them to be on our health plan without actually “adopting” them. Please help! Also, if adopting them is the only way… how do I ask their parents if they would be interested in our adopting their children with out them totally freaking out?!
