Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When I go to the “Printer Center” and check the box entitled, “All official forms required for filing,” it lists the Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction form (Form 7206). From that, it seems clear to me that the form will be sent to the IRS if I E-File.

 

In my case, I think Form 7206 is required, but I believe the numbers that TurboTax generates are wrong. To confirm my suspicions, I generated another tax return using an IRS approved free file tax filing service. Lo and behold, the Form 7206 generated by the free file service actually was filled out in a manner consistent with Schedule 1.  Specifically, lines 1 and 3 were filled in and the amount on line 14 was the same as the amount on Schedule 1, line 17.

 

If TurboTax does not address these issues in a manner satisfactory to me, I plan to either use the free file service, or to file the TurboTax return by mail. If I file by mail, I can fill out a Form 7206 on the IRS website and discard the 7206 form that TurboTax is generating.
