Thank you, the idea to use dental premiums to offset a second income is helpful. However, I must only infer from your reply that the filer may choose to apply the deductions to the incomes in any way they choose, i.e. whichever results in the highest refund or largest deduction. This seems arbitrary. Do you agree that this is a choice the filer is allowed to make? Surprising, as it seems the SE marketplace insurance writeoff should affect the sum of income in the same way that the coverage protects the subscriber regardless of which business they are participating in on any given day.
