Self-employed, 1099 and small business owners
Health insurance when you work for yourself
Truckers, realtors, contractors, gig workers and small business owners all hit the same question: what income do I put for next year? Roman estimates it with you, checks your tax credit, compares 2027 plans and keeps your application updated when your income moves.
What to know first
Three things that change which plan is right for you.
Uneven income is fine
Start from last year’s net self-employment income and adjust for what you expect.
Premiums may be deductible
Self-employed people can often deduct health premiums. Ask your tax preparer.
Update mid-year
If income jumps or drops, updating your application avoids surprises at tax time.
Two ways to get it done
Pick the one that suits you. You can start on your own and ask Roman anytime.

Questions people ask
Which income do I use — gross or net?
Generally net self-employment income after business expenses. Roman walks through it with your numbers.
What if my income is very low this year?
Below a certain level you may be pointed to Medicaid rules instead. Roman tells you which applies.
Can I cover my employees too?
