Possi Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 My client is 75 yr old self employed financial planner on Sch C. I have always taken the Self employed Health Insurance deduction for him. While his wife was working, she was on the employer's plan. He was not. I think that when his 76 yr old wife retired several years ago, I should have ALSO taken her insurance expenses as SEHI adjustment. Have I been short changing them? It's a large adjustment, like from $16k last year to $23k this year, if I include hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possi Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I will be amending some returns for free, then. I don't know why this didn't click with me when she retired. Burnout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Why is their health insurance so much? I am 74 and my wife is 71 and our combined insurance premiums, Medicare Part B, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D is about $8,000 per year. Even adding Dental and Vision coverage for both of us the total annual would still be less than $11,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to double check my figures right now..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SEHI total for both is $15,319. It includes Medicare, Medigap, Long term care, dental and Part D. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
