The deduction will not register unless TurboTax knows which business "established" the plan. 
1.Navigate to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Medical > Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A).
2.Enter your 1095-A details exactly as they appear.
3.Look for the screen titled "Let us know if these situations apply to you" or similar.
4.Check the box "I'm self-employed and bought a Marketplace plan".
5.Select your S Corp (K-1) from the list of businesses that appears on the next screen.

 

Next, check your K-1 entry:

1.Update your K-1 and proceed to the "Other Situations" screen.
2. Check the box "I personally paid health insurance and/or long-term care insurance premiums for myself and my family and this S corporation paid me wages".
3. On the next screen, enter your Medicare Wages (Box 5 of your W-2) and the total Health Insurance Premiums paid.  If the premiums were already entered in the 1095-A section, do not re-enter them in the business expense section of the K-1, or you may double-count them. The link in Step 1 should pull the data automatically.
