Self-employed medical expense deduction

I received a 1099-Misc for personal services rendered in 2019 in my business.

In 2018, I was able to claim a deduction for self-employed medical expense.

I cant find a corresponding entry in the 2019 return.

Please help.

In TurboTax Self-Employed, you enter your health insurance premiums in the Business Expenses section of your business.

The deduction is limited to the amount of net income (profit) of your business.

Go to Business Expenses > Other Common Business Expenses > Health Insurance Premiums.

TurboTax will transfer the amount to Part II line 16 of Schedule 1 of form 1040.

only self-employed health insurance is deductible against SE income. other medical expenses go on Schedule A.
