TAX ALERT: Federal/State Incentives Can Make Long-Term Care Insurance More Attractive

PR Newswire Association LLC

KIRKLAND, Wash., March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Considering long-term care insurance? Tax time may be a good time to move your decision to the front burner, because the premiums of many policyholders may be subsidized by tax deductions or credits. So says Denise Gott, National Sales Manager of LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP), one of America's most experienced long-term care insurance agencies.

For the 2013 tax year, federal tax deduction limits range from $360 to $4,550, depending on age. "So if you get a policy now, you could start the subsidy ball rolling for years to come," says Gott.

Over the lifetime of many policies, "Cumulative deduction claims can amount to several thousand, even more than $100,000," says Gott.

Already have long-term care insurance? Remember to make your claim on this year's return, due April 15. For the 2012 tax year, the deduction limits range from $350 to $4,370, depending on age.

The states are getting into the subsidy act too. Already more than half offer additional incentives for owning LTC insurance. These usually take the form of state tax deductions or rebates. "Check with your local LTC insurance specialist for policy options and any incentives available in your area," says Gott.

LTCFP does not offer tax advice but teams with accountants and other tax experts to help their clients get all the deductions or other benefits available to them.

The following LTC specialists are available to help, providing information on incentives that may be available for individuals and business owners in specific locations:
