This response re: F 7206 does not seem correct. See "How to figure the deduction" (middle of column 2 of form instructions), which states that generally you can use the worksheet in the F 1040 instructions to figure the SE health insurance deduction. It goes on to list certain limited circumstances where you "must" use F 7206. which include just the following:
- More than 1 source of income subject to SE tax
- F 2555 is presence
- Claiming amounts paid for LT care insurance
I would guess that most individuals claiming the SE health insurance deduction would NOT need to complete F 7206.
