The IRS says this about the self-employed health insurance deduction:

 

The insurance plan must be established, or considered to be established as discussed in the following bullets, under your business.

  • For self-employed individuals filing a Schedule C, C-EZ, or F, a policy can be either in the name of the business or in the name of the individual.

So, strictly speaking, the insurance policy must be in the name of the business or in the name of your wife. Please check your insurance policy, and if necessary, change the policy holder going forward.
