Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You need to split it up.   The part about claiming spouses is if the insurance is for both people you can put claim their part on your self employment.  But since you each have self employment you should split it up.           

 

And it doesn't actually go on schedule C.   Self-employed health insurance deduction goes on Schedule 1 line 17 (which goes to 1040 line 10), as long as the expense is not greater than your net self-employment income. If it does exceed your net self-employment income it gets split automatically. An amount equal to your net self-employment income goes on Schedule 1 and the remainder gets added in to medical expenses on Schedule A. It will not reduce any SE Tax on a net profit. It just reduces your AGI.


Medicare plan B payments are qualified as Self-employed medical insurance premiums and should be entered under Business instead of in the SSA-1099 Social Security Benefits section.
