Since owners of a C-Corp are technically employees, premiums paid for themselves and their spouses appear to be fully deductible.  Furthermore, there are no discrimination rules.
Benefits for long term care are received on a tax-free basis under present law.  The above assumes the contract is qualified.

This is not tax or legal advice, deductions under some arrangements can be complex and your tax advisors involvement is necessary.  In all cases please consult with your advisors for final determination of deductibility and taxation. We believe this information to be accurate but, we do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy - Always consult with your tax advisor prior to acting.
