Hello - I am looking at Pages 19 and 20 of Schedule 1 instructions which states that long term care premiums may be deductible. I did a copy and paste below. Current Turbo Tax 2019 does not seem to include this option.
Long-Term Care Insurance If you paid long-term care insurance costs during 2019, you may be able to subtract all
or a portion of the cost of a long-term care insurance policy which covers you or your spouse.
“Long-term care insurance policy” means a disability insurance policy or certificate advertised, marketed, offered, or
designed primarily to provide coverage for care that is provided in your home or in an institutional or community-based
setting. The care must be convalescent or custodial care or care for a chronic condition or terminal illness.
“Long-term care insurance policy” does not include a medicare supplement policy or medicare replacement policy
or a continuing care contract. “Continuing care contract” means a contract which provides nursing services, medical
services, or personal care services, in addition to food, shelter, and laundry services, for the duration of a person’s
life or for a term in excess of one year, conditioned upon any of the following payments:
• An entrance fee in excess of $10,000
• Providing for the transfer of at least $10,000 (if the amount is expressed in dollars) or 50% of the person’s estate
(if the amount is expressed as a percentage of the person’s estate) to the service provider upon the person’s death
Do not include premiums for long-term care insurance if you elected to pay those premiums with tax-free distributions
from a retirement plan. In this case, the premiums would have been made directly to the insurance provider by the
retirement plan.
If you paid long-term care insurance costs during 2019 for a policy which covers you or your spouse, complete the
worksheet below to determine your subtraction.
