Medicare and insurance premium deductions for self employed

[Denise83]

I am self-employed and my spouse is currently not working (semi-retired).  I pay for Medicare and supplemental insurance as well as insurance premiums for my spouse who doesn't qualify for Medicare yet.  Can I deduct all the premiums as self- employed business deductions?

I would appreciate advice and instruction. Thanks

Yes.  If you are self-employed and covered only by Medicare and a supplemental insurance, you can include all of your Medicare premiums as self-employed health insurance.

You will enter this in the business expenses section under Other Common Business Expenses>>Health Insurance.
