Can I claim my premium expenses to a Healthshare Organization (Liberty Healthshare)? I do not participate in the Marketplace Health program.

No, Health Care Sharing Ministries are not a valid medical deduction on your Federal tax return.  Only 'regular' health insurance qualifies as a medical deduction.

My wife and I have a small business.  Even though our 'premiums' to Christian Health Ministries are not deductible personally, can't we still deduct them off our Schedule C as a business expense?

Thanks.
