Self Employed Health Insurance Deduction When Spouses Own Partnership

Hello

My wife and I own an LLC 50% each which is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. We both receive K-1's for the same amount of income. I understand that the Self Employed Health Deduction is limited to the income reported by the business under which the plan is established. However, after entering the insurance premiums in TurboTax, the software asks us which business this pertains to - and the choices are mine or my wife's K-1. The software then limits the Health Insurance Deduction to the amount of income reported on one of the K-1's, when in fact the K-1's are both from the same business so in my opinion the deduction should be limited to the total of both K-1's. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank You.
