Get your taxes done using TurboTax
One thought, the 1095A form input has a question asking if you were self employed and bought through the marketplace. Possibly this was not checked? There is a "more info" box which says:
What if I'm self-employed and bought health insurance through the Marketplace?
If you reported self-employment income on any of the schedules listed below AND you used that income to buy health insurance through Healthcare.gov or your state Marketplace, you can deduct your premiums on your taxes. However, you need to tie that income to your 1095-A so we can properly calculate the deduction amount.
- Schedule C - Self-employed business income
- Schedule F - Farm income
- Schedule K-1 partnership
I think they mean by checking the box "if you were self employed and bought through the marketplace, it will then properly "tie it" to your self employment income. So, this implies that the insurance cost must also be listed on one of the business expense forms.
I have to try this myself but if you didn't check that box, I think turbo tax automatically assumes the amount is then included in your personal medical expense. Which happened to me as I did not check that box accidentally. If self employed and paying insurance with that income, I don't think there should be an insurance amount on the personal portion of your return.
