Daughter is self-employed with marketplace for health insurance and a dental insurance plan through another company.  The marketpalce form addresses the health portion, but where do I put the dental premiums?

The dental insurance premiums are entered as premiums paid in the Medical Expense section of the program

Most types of health insurance qualify for the self-employed health insurance deduction. Eligible premiums include those for medical and dental coverage and all kinds of Medicare, including Parts B, C and D. Premiums for long-term care plans also may be deducted as long as the policy is deemed tax-qualified by the IRS

there's a box in the business section for schedule C under other deductions for self-employed health insurance that's where you enter the dental insurance premiums
