Self-Employed Health Insurance -- Semantics issue in the instructions

[chunyukuo0]

Here's what I see in the interface, with some changes made to obscure my identity:
"Self-Employed Health Insurance
On your federal return, you deducted $XXXX of self-employed health insurance.

Enter [spouse’s] portion and we'll allocate the balance to [you]."

It just says "portion." Portion of what? I picked and paid for a health insurance plan that covered me, my wife (who has nothing to do with my self-employment), and my toddler. We all have the same coverage. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to enter, but I'm guessing it's zero. Correct?

@chunyukuo0 Where in the interview is TurboTax asking this question?  Is it in the federal program, or a state program?  Also (and I'm not sure this matters), does your spouse possibly have access to a health insurance plan through an employer?  Or is she possibly self-employed, as well, on her own?  This is a strange question; just trying to figure out why it's showing up.

They are asking for the amount your wife contributed to the payment for the health insurance. Though she is insured, she may not have contributed amythimg to the total paid for the insurance bill. It's understandable that this wording may cause some confusion. Hope this offers some clarity.
