Net income $900 Health insurance $6000.  Can I deduct !00% of health insurance premiums?


No. You would deduct $900 against your schedule C income (resulting in zero net income) and the remaining $5100 has to be deducted as an itemized deduction on schedule A, subject to the 7.5% rule.

 

Also note that if health coverage is available to you as an employee benefit at your part-time job, you can't take the small business health insurance deduction, even if you choose not to enroll in the employer-sponsored insurance.
