Wheetsin, yes i am in the states. I am in and am from Lousiana. My wife is the same as your husband, permanent resident with SS number and all. The deal is her mother has been diagnosed with alzheimer's. She (my mother-inlaw) now lives in assisted living in Norway. When she moved from her estate and to this assisted living the girls, my wife and her 2 sisters, inherited the estate. Now in Norway one does not have to die to leave their estate to heirs. Obviously she is not of sound mind and can not make rational dicisions. The assisted living is paid by the state of Norway through the "free health care". So their mother no longer needed money with exception of clothes, everything else is paid for. Becasue it was an inheritance, yet the mother is still alive, she was not subject to U.S. taxes. Also if we recieve a large sum of money from a relative in Norway it is subject to Norwegian tax law not U.S. In other words when my father in law sends money he claims it on his taxes in Norway and my wife pays taxes if there are any. She does not have to pay tax on it again in the U.S.
The LLC you ask? Even though you have Insurance through a job or from your spouse you should be able to pay any of your co-pays, drugs and deductables with the LLC. After all it is a benifit extended to you . You really need to get with your accoutant for specifics. Also another thing is that if you can get the same coverage, on any type of policy be it personal or group, and pay the same as you are now through your work place then it may be benificial for you to go entirely through the LLC. If your employer is paying half and withholds the other half out of your pay check then I do not think you are taxed on the amount withheld. If you are paying taxes on the amount withheld you may want to ask to pay your half of the premium seperate from your paycheck. You can then cut your employer a check from your LLC for your half of the premium. Again check with your CPA on this.
