The LTC premiums are a medical expense on the federal form. There's no credit there. If you can itemize and the medical expenses are more than 7.5% of your AGI, then it can reduce your federal tax.

Reply:There's no deduction for them on your Federal return. Some states do allow a credit or deduction for them; MO is one that does and there are likely others as well.
