    Write off where? Health insurance is a deduction on your tax return if you meet the other criteria.

    Do you receive Medicare?

    For CA you deduct medical expenses to the same extent as you did on your federal return. In other words: medical expenses above 7.5% of your AGI are deducted on your federal 1040 Schedule A, and that same amount caries over to form CA(540) for your CA tax calculation.
