@Cindy62707 - can you provide more detail on the spouse's medical plan? as you state it comes out of their retirement check, is the spouse still employed? is this COBRA? is this state insurance? what insurance is coming out the of retirement check?
is this 'retirement check' a form of pension?
it may be deductible - depends on your response.....
@Bsch4477 -- "subsidized" means "no double dipping", right? meaning if the premium is already deducted on Schedule A or subtracted from the paycheck on a pre-tax basis, it is not eligible to be deducted as a self-employed health insurance deduction, right????? Most all medical insurance, even Medicare, is subsidized in the context that the beneficiary isn't paying the full fair share of the insurance cost - the US Government (Medicare) , or the employer tends to kick in a lot of money to make the insurance affordable.
