David Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Several financial advisors have told their clients that an S Corp owner can write off their LTC insurance premiums. I have researched LTC insurance premiums and don't see anything that gives S Corp owners any special treatment that is different from other self employed taxpayers. Is there something I am missing? Aren't LTC insurance premiums paid by self employed (Sch C, 1065, and 1120S) deducted the same as health insurance premiums? Does the LTC plan have to be in the name of the company or can their be a "reimbursement" arrangement? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taxed Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Self-employed medical premium goes on line 29 of form 1040. LTC premium subject to the max allowed by age goes on line 1 of Sch A along with other allowable unreimbursed medical out of pocket expenses.

Lee B Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 According the Professional Edition of J K Lasser, Qualified Long Term Care Insurance is treated the same as regular health insurance premiums with respect to being deductible on Line 29 for the self employed, including S Corporation owners. There is nothing special. For S Corp owners it has to meet the same basic requirements and is handled the same way as regular health insurance premiums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
