Deductions & credits

Premiums for health insurance and long-term care insurance are not deducted on Schedule C.  Instead, they are shown as a deduction from your gross income on line 29 of Schedule 1 on form 1040 [self-employed health insurance deduction].

To enter your self-employed health insurance deduction please follow these steps:

  1. On the Let's gather your business info screen, click on Update next to your business. 
  2. On the screen, Your [XX] Business, in the Business Expenses section, click the Start/Update box next to Other Common Business Expenses.
  3. Click the Start/Update box next to Insurance Payments.
  4. Click the box next to the type of insurance premiums you wish to enter (in your case, Health Insurance Premiums).
