Health Insurance Deductions NJ — Make Open Enrollment Count

Each fall, small business owners review coverage options — but few realize open enrollment is also a prime time for health insurance deductions NJ planning.


Here’s how to make every premium dollar count.


Step 1: Evaluate Deductibility

  • Self-Employed/LLC: Premiums are deductible on your personal return if you have net profit.

  • S-Corp Owners: Must pay or reimburse premiums through the business and report on the W-2.


Step 2: Compare Plan Types

  • Traditional Health Plans: High monthly cost, predictable coverage

  • HSA-Compatible Plans: Lower premiums, tax-deductible contributions

  • Group Plans: Allow deductions at the business level


Step 3: Time Premium Payments

Prepaying December premiums before year-end can increase this year’s deductions. Coordinate with your CPA before doing so.
