Self employed

They are separate deductions.  The self-employed health insurance deduction cannot exceed the total amount earned from your business (minus that self-employment tax deduction).  The IRA deduction can't exceed the total amount earned.  They aren't considered together - neither of the deductions effects the net income from your business.  SO you are allowed both.
