Yes - You can claim a deduction for long-term care insurance premiums on your Virginia return as long as you did not include them as an itemized deduction on your federal return. [Either you didn't itemize, or your medical expenses didn't exceed the 7.5% floor.]
If you did not claim the premiums on your federal return, follow these steps to enter them on your VA return:
- Go into your VA return.
- Continue to the screen, Here's the income that Virginia handles differently.
- In the Medical section, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Long-Term Care Premiums Credit Carryover and Deduction. [See Screenshot #1, below.]
- On the next screen, Long-Term Care Insurance Premiums Paid, mark the Yes button and enter the amount of your premiums in the box. [Screenshot #2]
