Deductions & credits

As @Mike9241 stated, you only enter the Marketplace insurance information in the 1095-A section.

 

When you enter the 1095-A, look for a screen titled Let us know if these situations apply to you. Check the box for I'm self-employed and bought a Marketplace plan and click Continue. This should automatically include those premiums in the SE Health Insurance section. 

 

Regarding the screenshots you posted:

 

The screenshot you listed as Schedule C is not actually the Schedule C as it appears on the tax return, but the Qualified Tips Smart Worksheet for Schedule 1-A, which includes the self-employed health insurance in the calculation of any tips deduction.

 

The step-by-step view is just showing you where you enter/entered the expenses listed in the program and does not necessarily correlate with where they appear on the finished return.

 

The Allocable Deductions Smart Worksheet is showing what items need to be deducted from net income in order to calculate the Section 199A (Qualified Business Income Deduction) and Tips Deduction.

 

See this help article for more information.
