Medical Expense options

I've found that I can enter medical insurance costs in three different spots in TurboTax (Premier) and don't see a clear explanation/warning about any dos or don'ts between all three.  It seems clear that it will be 'doubling up' if the costs are entered in the Medicare section and again as a cost in the self employed business section, therefor this choice is clear.  But there is also an input screen that askes for medical costs and doesn't mention anything about a possible 'doubling up' if entered elsewhere.  It would seem safe to assume that this entry should not be used if the costs are already entered in a self employment cost screen (or Medicare), but can someone confirm this is the case and not just a double check or quirk in TurboTax(Premier) .

 

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Medical Expense options

You are correct. Social security entry screen, business health and itemized deductions all ask about medical expenses. Do not enter in itemized deductions, it would be double or triple dipping. Good job!
