I currently pay the health insurance premiums through my company and
my divorced spouse reimburses me the difference between single &
family coverage as part of our divorce agreement.

How do we claim the deduction for health insurance premiums when
filing our income tax this year? We live in Massachusetts.

Simply prorate the amount paid by each on the two returns and maintain
suitable records to document same.

Are your premiums paid with pre-tax dollars?
