Question: Can I claim my tuition and my daughter’s health insurance deductible on my taxes?

I am a single mother and a full time student. I paid about 2,900 in tuition last year and paid about 3500 in health insurance deductible and co-pays and i work part-time in my family’s business I only make about 9,000 a year what am I able to claim as a single mother?

Answer: I do not suggest doing your taxes yourself first of all. You are eligible for many tax credits because of your income. If your child lived with you over half of the year and you paid more than half the cost of keeping up the home you are eligible to file Head of Household I believe. You should also be eligible for the EIC and the child tax credit. I go to Liberty Tax. They charge more but they can get you a much bigger refund than if you try and do them yourself. I used to file mine on my own with Turbo Tax and I missed many of the credits I was eligible for.

Question: How do you acquire Medical insurance in John McCain’s health care plan.?

I checked his web site, and all I could find was that he will eliminate employer deductions for buying health care for employees. So you do not have to be an MBA to know that companies are not going to pay income tax on what they pay of your insurance, so there will be no more employer provided health care.

Also he will give you tax credits(if you pay taxes) for part of the cost. You know insurance companies will just raise their prices by the amount of your tax credit because they can.

So how do you get medical insurance under his plan? What if you have a preexisting condition?
His speech is long and he does not say what he will do till near the end, but if yo want to read it, it is on his campaign web site here

http://www.johnmccain.com/informing/news/speeches/2c3cfa3a-748e-4121-84db-28995cf367da.htm

That will make it difficult to say I found a biased new site.
I have a job. I am a hospital administrator.

Answer: He’ll require that families buy their own insurance on the market, and businesses will no longer give their employees health insurance, and since you won’t be on a group plan, the insurance companies will be able to deny you for any preexisting conditions that you may have and they will be able to charge individual people much more than they can in a group. McCain says that he will give out tax credits for something like $2500 a year, although even with that credit people won’t be able to afford their premiums, let alone any medical charges that occur that the insurance companies won’t pay for (which is already a huge amount, as this is the problem that we have a healthcare crisis to begin with).
