Posted by Ralf Yoffe | Under Business Advice, Company Profiles, Currencies, Money Matters, Special Reports, Taxes Friday Jan 4, 2008Taxpayer asks:
Hi TaxGirl. I’ve searched all over the Internet and the IRS.gov website and I can’t find an answer to my question, so I’m hoping you can answer it:
My sisters don’t currently have healthcare insurance, so my mom is helping them with some of their healthcare bills and expenses. My understanding is that this is not subject to taxation or reporting as long as the payments are being made directly to the healthcare providers. My question is: can my mom instead make premium payments for healthcare insurance for them or does this somehow not qualify in the same way as direct healthcare payments? I know that in personal income tax deductions, premiums can be deducted along with medical expenses, but for gifts, if payments must be paid directly to healthcare providers, than I’m not sure if a healthcare insurance company is consider a healthcare provider or not.

Oh, yeah. We were making a promise to ourselves that this will be the year we keep our receipts in a file in alphabetical order, categorized by type. This will be the year we make the full contribution to our IRAs.
