Long-term care premiums may be deductible

The Internal Revenue Service has announced increased deductibility levels for long-term care insurance in 2007.

“The higher deductions offer a significant tax advantage to individuals and especially business. People are unaware that they may be able to fully deduct the cost of long-term care insurance protection,” said Pat Berry, financial services consultant at First Hawaiian Bank.

Business owners may be able to fully deduct the cost of long-term care insurance protection for themselves and spouses. Individuals may deduct eligible long-term care premiums includable in the term “medical care.”
