Hi,
I'm on H1B and my employer is covering my health insurance. But, for my family's (spouse + child) insurance I need to pay from my pocket. So, I chose to take insurance coverage from some other provider(other than what my employer is providing).
Since the insurance provider is not under my employers listed providers, they are not going to consider this amount as pre-taxed. The question is, "Is there any way that I can claim this as pre-taxed or can I claim this amount for tax benefits during tax filing?"
Thanks in advance.
