Hello, How do I know how much to claim for the "Medical Portion of Auto Insurance Premiums?"

I pay for PIP in the state of Michigan. It's a $250,000 coverage, but I can't seem to find how much I pay for that coverage out of my total premium.

Auto insurance is not an itemized deduction. The medical portion of auto insurance does not qualify as a medical deduction on Schedule A.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical coverage is coverage under an auto insurance policy issued in Michigan that pays allowable expenses for medical care, recovery, rehabilitation, and some funeral expenses if policyholders are in an auto accident.

 

See here for a discussion of this issue and regarding how much may be deductible for Michigan.

I stand corrected. You can include the premiums for the personal medical care portion of a policy (yourself and your dependents) if it is separately stated in the insurance contract or provided in a separate statement. You can't include the medical portion of the policy for others that are injured.

Hello, How do I know how much to claim for the "Medical Portion of Auto Insurance Premiums?"

Michigan allows a deduction for auto insurance coverage that includes medical services related to a car accident. The coverage is called personal injury protection (PIP). See this Michigan webpage for more information.

 

If you can't tell from your auto insurance statement how much is the PIP portion, contact your agent.

 

The portion of your auto insurance that is designated as medical is a separate deduction on the Michigan return. To deduct the medical portion of your Michigan auto insurance premium, please follow the instructions below:

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click on State on the left-hand side.
  3. Click Continue next to your Michigan return.
  4. On the page Your 2025 Michigan taxes are ready for us to check, click Start or Edit next to Credits and taxes.
  5. Click Start or Revisit next to Homestead Property Tax Credit on the page Take a look at Michigan credits and taxes.
  6. Answer yes to the question Do you want to review your total household resources?
  7. Answer yes to the question Do you meet the qualifications? on the page Location of Property.
  8. Continue past the page Any of These Sources of Household Resources?
  9. On the page Medical Insurance or HMO Premiums Reduce Household Resources, enter the medical portion of your auto insurance premiums. 
  10. Continue through your return.
