I am in a low tax bracket (15% I think) and my company offers the choice of having your health insurance payments taken out on a pre- or post-tax basis. I’ve heard that you pay less money in taxes if you get it taken out on a pre-tax basis, but if you get it taken out on a post-tax basis you get tax-cuts at the end of the year. Is there any truth behind this? Please help. I’m confused.

Pre tax without question…no matter what your tax bracket. The tax -cuts at the end of the year are only those you enjoyed by choosing the pre-tax method only you wait a year to realize them. You gain more by choosing pre tax…for everyone, every time.

For most people the best you spent on medical bills prescriptions and health insurance.
For most people the best you itemize your deductions and only after you subtract 75 of your income from the total amount you can deduct the pretax deduction is the best you itemize your income from the pretax deduction but only if you subtract 75 of your.

Pretax is better if that’s available to you.

For posttax deductions all are opting for posttax deductions all are within years of retirement on pension benefits later.
