COBRA allows individuals to keep their employer-sponsored health insurance for a limited period of time, but it comes with a hefty price tag. One common question that arises for those utilizing COBRA is whether the premiums paid are tax deductible. The short answer is yes, COBRA premiums can be tax deductible under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey
