Sell the Tax Advantages of LTCi
Mutual of Omaha offers a number of consumer-approved flyers that will help you present LTCi tax advantages to both individual and small-businesses clients.
Tax Advantages For Individual Policyholders
Under current tax laws, individual policyholders may be able to claim a portion of their tax-qualified LTCi premiums as a medical expense, as long as these expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income and they itemize deductions on their income tax return. The eligible premium amount they can claim is based on guidelines established annually by the federal government.
