You stated that a portion of the premiums was deducted from your pension check. You should check to see if it was deducted from your taxable income. If it is Box 2a should be smaller than Box1.
If this is the case, the entire $12,228 is taxable. You should not use Schedule C. This would result in owing Self Employment taxes.
You should enter the 1099-MISC this way.
