2013 IRS Tax Limits for Long-Term Care Insurance :Individual taxpayers can treat premiums paid for tax-qualified long-term
care insurance for themselves, their spouse or any tax dependents (such
as parents) as a personal medical expense. The yearly maximum
deductible amount for each individual depends on the insured's attained
age at the close of the taxable year (see Table 1 for current limits).
These deductible maximums are indexed and increase each year for
inflation.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced increased deductibility levels for individuals purchasing long term care insurance policies purchased in 2013 (Rev Procedure 2012-41).
| Attained Age before Close of Taxable year | |
|---|---|
| 40 or less | $ 360 |
| More than 40 but not more than 50 | $ 680 |
| More than 50 but not more than 60 | $1,360 |
| More than 60 but not more than 70 | $3,640 |
| More than 70 | $4,550 |
For calendar year 2013, the per-diem limitation under Section
7702B(d)(4) for periodic payments received under a qualified long-term
care insurance contract is $320 (the 2012 limit was $310).
