I work full time as a photographer for a local company. It is a very small company (less than 5 employees) and they do not provide health insurance so I use the Marketplace to obtain coverage. I also own and operate a sole proprietorship for other photography I do outside of my day job. I have technically owned it since 2004. When Turbotax asks if "I'm self-employed and bought a marketplace plan." should I check the box or not? I do use my income from all of my jobs to pay my insurance premiums. I do make more from my regular 40 hour a week job. Thank you for your help and input.

Medicare premiums you voluntarily pay to obtain insurance in your name that is similar to qualifying private health insurance can be used to figure the deduction. Amounts paid for health insurance coverage from retirement plan distributions that were nontaxable because you are a retired public safety officer can’t be used to figure the deduction.
But don’t include the following.

Thank you @ColeenD3 for the help. I just was not sure since I have the two jobs and I could not find any information about it in relation to being employed and having your own business.
