Since many of us doing war tax resistance are self-employed and are faced with the difficulties of buying our own health insurance, I thought I would share a link to an article I wrote about this subject for another publication: 8 Steps for Buying Good Health Insurance. Having once -- well, twice actually -- purchased bad health insurance, I know how expensive that can be. When I finally wised up, I got better coverage at a lower price.
As a tax matter, if you are self-employed, you can deduct your insurance premiums from your gross income, which will lower your adjusted gross income, which is the figure your taxes are computed on. If you are not self-employed, insurance premiums are a standard deduction. The moral of this story is to get yourself classified as self-employed.
