What happens when you try?   Are you using online Premium? Or are you using desktop software?

Please clarify which version of TurboTax you are using (online or desktop; PC or Mac) and the steps you took before you were unable to continue your self-employment expenses entries.

Yes, I have the same issue on Apple Mac (Downloaded)

 

I am a Real Estate Agent who received a 1099-NEC from my broker.   Reported income as Self-employment in 

Business Income. When I go to Deducte for my Health Insurance, the TURBO TAX PROGRAM kicks me out from inputting any of my Health Insurance.   IT SOUNDS LIKE PROGRAM ERROR.  Thank you.

Are you going through the steps below? @Tina100  Starting in the Business tab and choosing the main Business Income and Expenses screen.  Then go to:

 

  1. Profit and Loss from Business Schedule C - Update
  2. Name of your RE agent business - Edit
  3. Other Common Business Expenses - Update
  4. Insurance Payments - Start/Edit
  5. Health Insurance Premiums - Start/Edit
  6. Enter the amounts

Where do I enter my self-employed health insurance expense?

Thanks a lot.  It did go to a completely different WORLD.  

(It is different than the last year on the same Cat. of income/expense).
