In TurboTax Home & Business Desktop for 2025, the self-employed health insurance premiums deduction is entered through your business income and expenses area, not directly on the Schedule 1 worksheet.
To enter your self-employed health insurance premiums, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Federal Taxes section, then select Wages & Income.
2. Choose I'll choose what I work on if prompted.
3. Under Business Items, find Business Income and Expenses (Schedule C) and select Start or Update.
4. Continue through your business information until you reach the Business Expenses screen.
5. Select Start or Update next to All Other Expenses.
6. Enter your total self-employed health insurance premiums in the field for Self-Employed Health Insurance Premiums.
This will automatically carry over the deduction to Schedule 1, line 17, and the box will be filled by the software. You can't edit that box manually because it is calculated based on your entries in business expenses.
