Close, but I do not file schedule C. Applicable because I am a part-owner of an S corporation; that did not come up at all in the interview.

If you are a more than 2% owner of a subchapter S corporation, then please do the following:

This amount is entered on the  K-1. Return to this K-1 and follow these steps to enter the health insurance premiums:
- Click on the Federal Taxes tab or Personal (for Home & Business version)
- Click on Wages and Income or Personal Income

- Scroll down to Business Investments and Estate/Trust Income
- Schedules K-1  Click Update
- Schedules K-1 or Q screen, Do you want to Review - click Yes
- Tell Us About Your Schedules K-1 screen,  click Update by 1065 or 1120S Form

- Click Edit by your K-1
- Click through the screens until you see the "Other Situations" screen
- Check the box for "I personally paid health insurance..." - Continue
- Enter the amounts requested for this K-1

It depends.

What are you trying to do?

Overriding entries in the forms is not recommended as it could disrupt the calculations performed by TurboTax.

Overrides in TurboTax

Entries should only be made in the input section to ensure the program works accurately.

No; it did not answer my question, but I found another workaround.

I certainly recognize that overriding the program is generally frowned upon but is sometimes essential. The program would be more useful to me if I had the option to override whatever field I needed to.

Exactly what is "essential".

We cannot answer your question because you did not tell us what you are trying to override - how to do it depends on what it is.

What box? Why?

There is almost NEVER a reason to override.
