I cannot get back into the page for the self-employed health insurance deduction

I need to revise my self-employed health insurance deduction before I file my taxes. When I click on "edit" for self-employed health insurance, I get this message:

 

Self employed health insurance premiums must be entered with the business expenses for the business that the policy relates too. If you need to add or change health insurance premiums, return to the topic where you entered business income/expenses.

 

It provides no link to get to this page and I cannot find the page to enter self-employed health insurance no matter how hard I try. None of the help sections seem to address this.

Return to the Self Employment section ... edit the business then scroll down to expenses and edit the health insurance section ...

Already did that (15 times by now). It gave the message I provided above - with no link to page where the figure gets entered.

If you have an amount on that line may I suggest you delete that line ( click trashcan) and start again ...

Excellent suggestion. However: I cannot get back to the "tell us about your..." page that you're showing here. So I don't have a trashcan to click on.

Or did you enter that in the 1095-A section ?  

 

The Form 1095-A is entered in the Medical section under Deductions and Credits.

Another excellent attempt - but I have private health insurance, not obamacare, so 1095-a doesn't apply to me.

Do you see the line for the insurance in the expenses ?   Can you click on the trash can on this screen next to the edit ?

My user interface doesn't look like that. I think I may have "approved" everything and now it assumes I don't want to go back into it.

I play all day in a test return ... never ran across your issue ...
