The dental plan premiums I pay through Covered California are not included on my 1095-A. I am self-employed. Where do I deduct them?

You can enter premiums paid for your health insurance [medical/dental/other] in your business return using the following steps:

1. In your return click on Income and Expenses and then click the Start/Revisit box in the Self-Employment section.
2. On the Your 2019 self-employed work summary screen, click on Edit next to your business.  
3. On the Here's your [business] info screen, click on the box Add expenses for this work.  
4. On the Tell us about any expenses screen, scroll down to Less Common Expenses, mark the radio button for Health insurance premiums and click Continue at the bottom of the screen.    
5. Enter the amount and description on the next page.  If you need more than one entry, click on Add another group.

I have the same issue. I am self employeed and get insurance through Healcare.gov. I enterned in my medical 1095A form but am not sure where to put the dental premiums I paid  in. I tried to follow the steps you gave, but I must have a different verison on TurboTax as I do not see the options you mentioned. Does anyone know how to enter in dental premiums for self employeed people in TurboTax Home and Business 2019 version?

3. Continue until you see the section titled Less Common Business Situations.  Select Update to the right of Self-employed Health Insurance
4. Enter your premiums in this section
