When you enter the 1099-LTC you can enter it as a reimbursement for medical expenses instead of entering the form.
Go to deductions and credits and scroll down to medical and click start on 'Medical Expenses'. Enter all of the expenses that your friends had including the expenses for long-term care. Then enter the reimbursements that were received on the 1099-LTC.
Your friends will probably not receive a medical deduction because of the reimbursement. But the amounts will all be entered and you won't have an issue with form 8853 unless the LTC reimbursement is greater than the expenses.
Before you do that go delete all the 1099-LTC information that you have entered.
