1. Health insurance. We have taken another pass at the health insurance tax categories to try to make them clear. The tax categories for health insurance now are:
- Pre-tax. This means the health insurance reduces taxable wages for both income tax and FICA purposes. This will apply to a majority of today’s employer-provided health insurance and we select this category by default.
- Pre-tax, FICA-taxable. This means that the health insurance reduces taxable wages for income tax purposes but not for FICA purposes.
- Self-employed. These are health insurance premiums paid by a self-employed individual, or partnership. They are subtracted from income “above the line” for federal income tax purposes, and also for self-employment tax purposes.
- After-tax. These are out-of-pocket payments of health, dental, and vision premiums that are not payroll deductions. These are treated as medical expenses, subject to the 7.5% AGI threshold. This means that they are not deductible for most individuals, either because the taxpayer uses the standard deduction and does not itemize, or because their medical expenses are less than 7.5% of their Adjusted Gross Income, or both.
2. Minimum wage. We updated the minimum wage rates that have changed since our last update. Those include rates in Alaska, D.C., and Oregon.

For everyone
- State tax update. We have updated the state tax rates and brackets to the most current rates available.

In calculating the Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID) the program now subtracts the self-employment tax adjustment (that is, half of the party’s self-employment tax) and self-employment health insurance from Qualified Business Income before calculating the QBI deduction. This will result in only a small adjustment to tax, but the calculation is now more precise.
