I just noticed that this year and last year, that the amounts for my medical, dental and Long Term Insurance care are all coming out of pretax dollars like they are part of a Cafe plan. This means they cannot be used as part of the 7% for medical dedcutons and of course also reduces the amount that is eligble for Social Security.
Is my 1099 correct? When did the law change? Neat way for the government to disallow our medical deductions and also lower what we will eventually collect in Social Security. Of course it saves a few pennies on the federal tax.
Take care,
Eileen
