Deductions & credits

Yes, you may be able to get a deduction but the deduction is reported on Form 1040, not Form 1040A

  1. Any Health Insurance Marketplace premiums you paid will be reported on Form 1095-A, which you should get by mid-February. 
  2. Once you receive your 1095-A form, simply follow these directions to enter your 1095-A in TurboTax
  3. As you enter your 1095-A form, on the Do any of these situations apply? screen, check the box next to Self-employed and bought a Marketplace plan option. 
  4. TurboTax will check to see if you qualify for one or both of the deductions after you enter your premiums.

For additional information, click on Can I deduct my health insurance premiums when I’m self-employed?

  • Under Tools Center screen click on View Tax Summary.
  • On the left navigation bar, click on Preview my 1040.
