sole proprietor name on health insurance to get deduction
My wife is a sole proprietor of a small business. We had to buy our insurance in 2019 as individuals directly from the insurance company. I got a 1095-B that states both of us under the section of "Covered Individuals", but they only put my name as the Responsible Individual.
So my questions is if my wife can still declare the Health Insurance deduction as it appears that the insurance is in my name? We meet all other requirements.
In the real life, we are just two individuals on the same plan, so I wouldn't think it mattered.
I already found an IRS Memo stating that the sole proprietor's name is okay, the insurance doesn't have to be in the business's name.
Thank you to anyone that can help shed some light on this.
