If you're a landlord and claim rental income on your home, your homeowners' insurance on the portion of the property used for rental becomes tax-deductible. When you own several properties and those properties are used only for rental income, then all of the homeowners' insurance is tax-deductible. Consult your tax preparer for more details on how to deduct homeowners' insurance.
Health Maintenance Organizations do not feature deductibles. With group health insurance, the deductible amount is always factored into the underwriting of the policy. Your employer will decide the deductible amount for employees along with the date the deductible will reset.
