Where do I input dental insurance premiums on my taxes if I'm self-employed?

As a self-employed individual, you may be eligible to deduct your dental insurance premiums as a business expense on your tax return.

  • Keep Accurate Records: Maintain detailed records of your dental insurance premium payments and any related expenses.
  • Fill Out Schedule C: On your Schedule C form, find the "Insurance" section, where you can report the premiums you paid for dental insurance.
  • Consult a Tax Professional: If you are uncertain about the deduction or need personalized advice, it's best to seek guidance from a tax professional who specializes in self-employment taxes.
