LTC Insurance Tax Deduction

Is your long-term care insurance plan tax-qualified? If yes, there’s good news: Your tax deductible limit increases as you age. The reason is that the federal government considers tax-qualified long-term care premiums a medical expense. Medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of the individual’s adjusted gross income are tax deductible.

The federal tax-deductible limits for tax-qualified long-term care premiums are determined by age. In 2010, the limits are as follows:

Age Deductible Limit
  • 40 or under
  • Over 40 but under 51
  • 51+ but under 61
  • 60+ but under 71
  • 71+
  • $330
  • $620
  • $1,230
  • $3,290
  • $4,110
