The Long Term Bill
Tax break for long-term care insurance premiums introduced in Connecticut
An Act Establishing A Personal Income Tax Deduction For Long-term Care Insurance Premium Payments.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would let you deduct the money you spend on long-term care insurance from your state income taxes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The deduction could lower your tax bill if you buy long-term care coverage, but it also cuts state revenue, which could mean higher taxes or fewer services for everyone.
