IRS disallows S/E Health Insurance Deduction to offset S/E Tax Liability in 2011!

For the tax year 2011, the self-employment health insurance deduction no longer offsets the self-employment tax.

However, for the Tax Year 2010, "self-employed employees were able to reduce the amount subject to self-employment tax on Schedule SE by the amounts paid for health insurance premiums."

But, as in prior years, Self Employed Taxpayers can still take the self-employment health insurance deduction on Form 1040 as an adjustment to income.
