This Cincinnati Enquirer article lists the tax-
related benefits often overlooked by many small
business owners. Citing Internal Revenue Code Section
105, the article explains that, "The section allows a
self-employed business owner to employ his or her
spouse to assist in the venture, even part time, and
deduct 100 percent of the family's health insurance
premiums as well as non-insured medical, dental and
vision-care expenses on federal, state and self-
employment taxes."
The site is accessible. There are hyperlinks, but
the article in question entitled, "Millions Fail to
Take Tax Break," is situated at the end of the Small-
business Diary section. Navigation to the article
simply involves using normal keyboard commands to
scroll downward.
