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.

In addition, benefits received from a tax-qualified LTCi policy are intended to be tax free as long as they don’t exceed the greater of qualified long-term care daily expenses or the per-day limitation, which is $290 in 2010 (source: Section 7702B of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)).
