Problems getting Turbotax to Deduct Self Employed Health Insurance fron Net Income

Turbotax 2022 won’t deduct any of my self-employed health insurance of $15,082 against my net self-employment income of $15,096 (after half of the SEP tax deduction).  Instead, it tells me under “Less Common Business Situations, Self employed Health Insurance” that the amount of $15,082 has been moved to Schedule A, where I do not want it since I need it deducted against my SE income to achieve a lower AGI and lower taxes.  I cannot find a way to fix this.  I have no self-employed retirement contribution (e.g. 401K) reductions against my income.  Apparently, the program thinks I have no net self-employment income.  It seems to be locked into this result and won’t let me change it.  How can I fix that? My insurance premiums are straightforward.  They are not associated with the affordable care act and do not involve a 1095.

 

 I am running the 2022 tax program on an estimated basis for my 2023 taxes, but it should still work correctly.
