Insurance premiums

[wrigley1]

I entered my health premiums in the business expenses area as I am self employed.  I also entered 1095 info even though I do not get a premium credit.  It now looks like I am getting double credit for these premiums in schedule A .. Software gives allowance/offset for some of premium vs profit from my self-employment but Schedule A worksheet Line 1 seems to include 1095 amount as well as unused self-employment premium.  Thoughts?

When you enter your 1095-A in the health insurance section, and answer the question about whether you are self-employed, TurboTax will ask you to link your 1095-A to your business and complete the entries for the self-employed health insurance deduction.  Your other entry during the self-employed interview questions may have created a duplicate entry, and deleting that entry may solve the issue.

The TurboTax navigation questions aside, the "right" answer is that the premiums are deductible as self-employment health insurance to the extent you have self-employment income, with any remaining premium deductible on Schedule A.  So, as a workaround, you could eliminate the duplicate premiums by deleting or entering a negative number to offset the duplication in the Medical section.

How do I change an entry in the self-employed interview?  When I go back to that section and click on self-employed health insurance, I only get a message that a "deduction has already been calculated".  To change any amounts, I am instructed to go back to the topic where I entered the premium, which is what I did to get this message.  Seems like I am caught in a loop.

Thank you
