I am about to retire from a large corporatation where I pay monthly premiums into our medical/dental plan. When I retire at end of year - that will stop and will purchase another family policy on my own. My wife has a travel agent business (a franchise - i.e. she receives a 1099 from them). My question - if I have HER apply for and pay for the medical insurance for her, me and our daughter - are those premiums something she can claim as a business expense (I am listed as an "associate" with $1.00 pay). Thanks in advance. Daughter is 17 yrs of age.

Yes, she can claim those premiums on her Schedule C under the deduction for self-employed health insurance. You do not have to be employed to be covered, as the deduction is for health insurance for spouse and dependents as well as the business owner.
