Example, I pay $19k in obamacare healthcare premiums per year.
I get $9,000 in PTC.
$7,000 of the premiums, the amount not comp'd by PTC, are deductible for calculating income tax.
But then $2,000 of the $19,000 is uncategorized. Does not appear on the return. It makes my self-employed business appear more profitable when calculating self-employment tax than it actually is.
Healthcare premiums not covered by PTC should be a business expense on schedule C? But doesn't work in TurboTax SE.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5564269Answered by TurboTax FAQ to this questionFollow the instructions below to enter your premiums, and we’ll check to see if you qualify for any deductions:
I got a 1095-A from Healthcare.gov or a state marketplace.
- Report the premiums you paid on your 1095-A in the Health Insurance section.
- Type “1095-A” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link
I paid COBRA premiums and the policy is in a former employer's name.
- Enter the premiums as a medical expense in Deductions & Credits under the Personal tab.
- Type “Schedule A” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link
I paid health insurance premiums and the policy is in my name and not from a Marketplace.
- You’ll enter the premiums as a business expense, under Income & Expenses.
- Type “Schedule C” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link.
- Now go to Health insurance premiums under the Less Common Expenses section.
Note: If this is your first time entering info about your self-employment work, you’ll be asked some initial questions before coming to the expenses section. If you previously entered info on your self-employment work, you can pick up from there - just click Edit next to the type of work you entered previously, and then scroll down to the Expenses section.Related Information:GEN88711
