1099-LTC, Long Term Care and Acc. Death Benefits

[neilbrink]

TP is in a nursing home dementia unit and receiving Long-term care benefits from an Insurance Company. She received a 1099-LTC form showing Box 1, $44,107, and Box 3, Reimbursed Amount, "Y". I do not know if this amount is required to be declared on the Form 1040, and if so, where. I also cannot find a worksheet for the 1099-LTC. Can anyone help me on this one?

Thanks.

Try page 2 of form 8853. Most likely, the cost of the nursing home was more than this amount and it will not be taxable but this form should answer that question.

Thank you, Form 8853 is correct, and I found it on Line 21, Other Income. In this particular case, since payments were made as "reimbursment", I did not have to complete the form.
