Deductions & credits

No, only the insurance premiums can be entered as a self employment expense. The copays and expenses are a personal Schedule A deduction if you itemize.

 

Self Employed health Insurance does not go directly on Schedule C so it will not reduce your Net Profit or self employment tax.

 

If your health ins exceeds your net self-employment income it gets split. An amount equal to your net self-employment income goes on Form 1040 Schedule 1 line 17 (to 1040 line 10) and the remainder gets added in to medical expenses on Schedule A.

 

Where to enter Self Employed Health Ins

BUT do not enter any Health Care Marketplace insurance you bought.  If you enter the 1095-A and select the "Self-employed and bought a Marketplace plan" box, it will automatically include those premiums in the SE Health Insurance section.  So you shouldn't enter it again on schedule C.
