The Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction - Who Qualifies? 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
Did you know there's a tax advantage that allows self-employed individuals to turn their health insurance premiums into a valuable deduction, unlike most people who can't?
The Self-Employed Health Insurance deduction allows self-employed taxpayers to lower their taxable income by the cost of their paid insurance premiums. This is special because most individuals are not able to deduct the cost of their premiums on their return. This is due to them not itemizing deductions. Even if they did, itemized medical expenses are limited to the amount only over 7.5% of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income.
Self-employed taxpayers can deduct up to 100% of their premiums and it is not dependent on their adjusted gross income. However, there are limitations to prevent the taxpayer from deducting the full amount.
This CE Tax Webinar will equip tax professionals with the information they need to understand which business owners qualify for this credit. Not only who qualifies for the deduction but also how to calculate and input the deduction on the return. The IRS does not consider this a business expense, so it is not deducted on Schedule C.
During our time together the speaker will also cover the new criteria that taxpayers must meet to qualify for the full deduction. The speaker will also discuss the limitations that prevent the individual from being able to deduct 100% of the premiums. An introduction will also be given to the self-employed health insurance deduction worksheet so participants will understand how the calculation happens. We will also take a look at who may qualify for both the deduction and the advance premium tax credit.

Timalyn's presentation was concise and to the point which I appreciate in a 1hr course. Presentation handouts were good as well. I'm not a tax professional but work with a lot of self employed subcontractors who are probably not taking advantage of this deduction or are doing so incorrectly so it's good info I can pass along.
TP
I really enjoyed this course since it gives knowledge about a topic that is not very frequently discussed in-depth. The presenter is very familiar with the self-employed health insurance deduction specifics and was able to provide the information is a very organized and structured way. Thank you!
