Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction

Rev. 2023

Form 7206 is a document attached to Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR for self-employed individuals to claim health insurance deductions. It includes instructions and requires taxpayers to provide their name, Taxpayer Identification Number, and details of health insurance payments made under their business for themselves, spouse, and dependents in 2023. Payments for employer-subsidized plans, long-term care insurance, and retirement plan distributions are excluded. For each person covered under a qualified long-term care insurance contract, the smaller of total payments made or designated amounts based on their age is entered. The form requires entry of net profit from the trade or business, total net profits from other sources, and calculation of self-employed health insurance deduction.
