Self-employed health insurance deduction

[Susan80]

I'm self-employed and have Medicare. I paid for my 24-year-old son's health insurance through the Marketplace, but he is not otherwise a dependent and will file his own tax return. Can I enter a 1095-A for him and link that to my Schedule C? (I tried this and TurboTax said that he has to be listed on the return, but since he's not a dependent, it won't let me enter him on the form.) 

The other possibility is entering the 1095-A on his tax return. 

Thank you!

If you are not claiming your son as a dependent, he will have to enter the 1095-A information on his tax return. 

You will have to enter as Health Insurance Premiums in the expenses section of your business to get the deduction.
