Received a Medical Loss Ratio Rebate check on September 2, 2022 from Healthkeepers, Inc for 2021.  I file as a sole proprietor and claimed the health insurance payments as a business deduction for 2021.  How do I enter this rebate on my 2022 tax return, as personal or business income?  And where do I enter it?

You could enter it as Miscellaneous Business Income and indicate that it was a health insurance premium rebate, since you did deduct the premiums you paid.

Thank you.  

I also have a question regarding dental insurance bought through the marketplace.  Can I deduct the monthly premium costs under schedule c health insurance premiums?  I did not get a 1099a from healthkeepers because this is considered a stand alone policy.

Maybe. Were either you or your spouse eligible to participate in an employer-subsidized health plan?

 

If not, you are eligible to take the Self Employed Health Insurance deduction for dental insurance premiums paid out of pocket.
