Kea Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 My client is employed at a college, but not enough hours to qualify for insurance. He also tutors on the side. 1/3 of his income is from self-employment. His wife is employed and has subsidized insurance through her employer. However, if she adds him to her policy, they would have to pay the full (non-subsidized) price. He bought medical insurance on his own for himself. Is he eligible for the self-employed insurance adjustment? Does his wife having subsidized insurance for herself keep him from being eligible for the adjustment? If so, can he also claim dental insurance premiums? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEYWEST_RICKS Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 i think that being covered by employers plan disqualifies him from SE health insurance deduction jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Quickfinders specifies no self-employed insurance adjustment if self-employed individual or spouse is covered by subsidized policy. His wife is, but it's not subsidized for him. So I'm not sure if wife's premium being subsidized disqualifies him is he can't get subsidized policy through her. Gee, that still sounds confusing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
