Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, thanks for your response, but it's missing the point of the question I listed. Our premiums weren't paid by the marketplace. They were paid by us. We took zero subsidy each month so we paid the entire premiums each month on our own. 

 

I am not trying to claim the deduction AND the credit. I just want to maximize the credit which is allowable (see pub 974 p. 56 for info on self-employed people using marketplace insurance). The problem is TT is zeroing out the credit and putting the entire amount down as a deduction. This is obviously not the favorable approach.
