    Can you deduct monthly insurance premiums paid to the Marketplace as self-employed health insurance?

    In Screen 39.2, halfway down, there's a section "SE Health Insurance."  That's where you can link it to a business.

    Sometimes you get an informational diagnostic that it can't converge on the right answer, so you have manually calculate it (premiums paid, less credits received) and hard-key it in Screen 24.

    Yes, net of any additional credit you receive on your tax return.
