Question

Self Employed Health Insurance Deduction

Forum|Forum|2 months ago

Turbotax calculated by allowable self-employed health insurance deduction to be $3,530.
But it is NOT populating to Schedule 1 Line 17.
How can I fix this?

Level 15

The most common reason is the Earned Income Limit. Your deduction cannot exceed the net profit of the business it is tied to. If your business shows a loss or very low profit after deducting the employer-equivalent portion of self-employment tax (Schedule 1, Line 15), the health insurance deduction is limited or eliminated.

Look at your Schedule C, Line 31. If that number is less than $3,530, TurboTax is intentionally limiting the deduction.
