Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction (1040 sched 1 line 16) Unexplained Value
On Form 1040 Schedule 1 Line 16, TurboTax has generated a value that doesn't seem to come from anywhere. To make the discussion easier, let's say the value listed here is $200.
If I right-click the value->About, it says to see the "Self-Employed Health and Long-Term Care Insurance Deduction Worksheet." That worksheet (under Schedule C) shows a different (lesser) value on line 10, which is what it says it's supposed to be transferring to form 1040 sched 1 line 16. To make the discussion easier, let's say the value listed here on this worksheet is $100. $100 is a value that actually makes sense: it's what I've entered under Business->Business Income and Expenses->Other common business expenses->Insurance payments->Health insurance premiums.
If I go to the Business Income & Expenses screen, it shows this mysterious $200 value next to the "Self-Employed Health Insurance" line...but when I actually click the "Update" button, it says "We have deducted, from your income, $100 of allowable self-employed health insurance attributed to your schedule C).
In addition to the $100 entered per above, I also have some health insurance-related values entered via a 1095-A.
Where is it getting this mysterious $200 value, and why does it not properly explain where it's coming from?
