Self employed
When you enter your 1095-A in the health insurance section, find and answer yes to the question about whether you are self-employed. TurboTax will ask you to link your 1095-A to your business and complete the entries for the self-employed health insurance deduction. The Marketplace premiums you paid and the additional amount you are paying on the return to refund the Advance Premium Tax Credit are deductible as self-employment health insurance to the extent you have self-employment income, with any remaining premium deductible on Schedule A. TurboTax will automatically do this when you indicate during 1095-A entry that you are self-employed (and link to the Schedule C).
But, your other entry during the self-employed interview questions may have created a duplicate entry. So, make sure that your total deduction for self-employed health insurance is no more than "the amount you paid during the year for marketplace + the refund of Advance PTC that is being generated on your tax return + any other (non-marketplace) self-employed health insurance you had during the year".
