Are you itemizing your return for mortgage interest, taxes paid, etc? If you are and you did not check the box for the 1095-A self-employment, you may need to delete the 1095-A and go out, then go back and re-enter it to make sure it goes to the right spot. Even if you are not, it may be something stuck in the memory keeping it there, so deleting the 1095-A, getting out of the return and then back into it should fix it either way.
The premiums credit you repay, generally should not be added to your SE Health Insurance premiums as you did not pay them in 2023. This means, you would take the deduction in 2024 when you file your taxes as that will be the year that you actually pay the amounts (with your taxes). So when you file your taxes next year, remember to include the premiums repaid with your taxes filed this year.
There is the circular method, that you can use as well. The IRS has 2 different recommendations. You can use the Simplified Calculation Method or the Iterative Calculation Method. TurboTax does not easily support using either one of these methods, so you must take a few more steps. Before I responded to the previous question, I attempted the method in this link, however, if you are itemizing your return, then when you unlink the 1095-A from the self-employment, it goes back to schedule A and there is no way to remove the deduction for the premiums which causes a double deduction which is not allowed. So you do NOT want to do that IF you are itemizing. The fact that you are telling me it is going to Schedule A makes me think you are itemizing, so again, neither of these methods will not work in TurboTax if you are Itemizing since the program does not allow for the removal of these premiums.
If you are taking the standard deduction, then you can claim them based on either of the 2 other approved methods from the IRS, you can claim the premium tax credit repayment this year by unlinking the 1095-A from your self-employment and then manually enter the premiums you paid plus the amount you are having to repay as self-employed health insurance. In this situation, you could claim your repaid premiums this year as this is one of the exceptions to take the deduction in the year you paid rule.
