I earn wages via W-2 employment. My employer does not offer health insurance. I also have a "side-gig" earning 1099-NEC, that is substantially less than the amount of my W-2 earnings. I purchase medical and dental insurance on my own directly from an insurance provider. I have no other business expenses to deduct from the NEC income. Can I still deduct the health insurance premiums from my self-employent income (up to the amount of my 1099-NEC earnings)?.
