And if you\u2019re considering a policy, why not get it while tax savings are on your mind?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For 2017 the limitations are about 5% higher than in 2016:<\/p>\n<p>Attained Age Before Close of 2017 Taxable Year \/ Limitation on Premiums:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>40 or less: $410<\/li>\n<li>More than 40 but not more than 50: $770<\/li>\n<li>More than 50 but not more than 60 $1,530<\/li>\n<li>More than 60 but not more than 70: $4,090<\/li>\n<li>More than 70: $5,110<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe limits have been increasing every year,\u201d says Gott. \u201cWhat\u2019s more, they apply to every covered individual in a household. For example, a qualifying husband and wife filing jointly could deduct up to $7,800 for 2016, and up to $10,220 for 2017; and so on for as long as the legislation remains in force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The original idea was to encourage Americans to protect themselves, according to Gott, \u201cand we believe the Trump administration will support this philosophy going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ACSIA Partners has hundreds of long-term care specialists in all parts of the country. \u201cDuring tax season,\u201d says Gott, \u201cthey\u2019re glad to talk with consumers and financial advisors about policy costs and tax adjustments. They do not give tax advice, but can help explain the tax incentives.
