Deduct contributions to employee benefit programs that are not an incidental part of a pension or profit-sharing plan included on line 23. Examples are accident and health plans, group-term life insurance, and dependent care assistance programs. If you made contributions on your behalf as a self-employed person to a dependent care assistance program, complete Form 2441, Parts I and III, to figure your deductible contributions to that program.
Contributions you made on your behalf as a self-employed person to an accident and health plan or for group-term life in-surance are not deductible on Schedule F (Form 1040). Howev-er, you may be able to deduct on Form 1040, line 29 (or on Form 1040NR, line 29), the amount you paid for health insur-ance on behalf of yourself, your spouse, and dependent(s) even if you do not itemize your deductions. See the instructions for Form 1040, line 29, or Form 1040NR, line 29, for details.
You must reduce your line 15 deduction by the amount of any credit for small employer health insurance premiums deter-mined on Form 8941. See Form 8941 and its instructions to de-termine which expenses are eligible for the credit.
