Deductions & credits

@MonikaK1  Thank you for your reply.   The process you described for entering the 1095-A is the process I followed; thank you for confirming that part.

 

The Schedule C screenshot was what cam up when I clicked on "Schedule C" in the forms view, so I'm not sure why you are saying its not the schedule C ??  Regardless, it seems that you are saying that the health insurance premium deduction counts as a deduction from your business profit for purposes of determining your tip limit?  Am I understanding you correctly?

 

Just to use round numbers as an example,  if I had business income of 8,000, and deductions of 3,000 (mileage and various expenses), the net profit is 5,000.  Then lets say 500 for 1/2 self employment tax deduction.   Leaving net profit of 4500.  Qualified tips lets say 2000.  I assumed that would leave me with 2500 profit in business (and up to 2500 in health insurance premiums credit on Schedule 1.  But you are saying that the health insurance deduction is being taken off the net profit (for purposes of figuring how much of the tips I can claim, but it is not going to actually lower by business net profit number).  Am I following that correctly?  That doesn't make sense to me though....
