As a sole-proprietor, are my health insurance premiums deductible?

If you have self-employment income, then you can take a deduction for health insurance expenses incurred for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents. If you are reporting a loss from your self-employed activity, then you are not eligible to deduct your health insurance costs since this particular deduction is limited by your self-employment income
