Actually, the 1099-LTC distribution amount and the amount of long-term care medical expenses entered should wash each other out. You're just reporting the expense/reimbursement.
You definitely don't want multiple forms 8853. Enter the total distribution amount on the 1099-LTC, then enter the total LTC expenses as the same amount. You may want to use the interview mode to report this.
Here's more info on Form 8853.
- From the top, select tab Federal Taxes / Wages and Income
- Scroll down to Less Common Income section.
- Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C / Start
- Scroll down to Long-term care account distributions (Form 1099-LTC), select Start
