SE Health Insurance Deduction and 1095-A

kindracpa
Level 3

I have a client that has a schedule C and should be able to deduct all of their health insurance premiums based on the income of the business.  They purchased insurance through the exchange and did not take any credit.  When I fill out the SE Health Insurance form it says not to include any amounts included on the 1095-A.  It does not look like they are getting a full deduction for their insurance premiums as a credit on Schedule 3, but the rest goes to Schedule A as a medical expense and they do not itemize.  Am I entering something wrong?  How do I make sure they receive the full deduction?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

No override. The point is, you looked for it in the wrong place. Not Credit, but Adjustment.

The Form 1095-A has a function to link it to the Sched C. Did you link it?

"as a credit on Schedule 3"

Schedule 1, Part II. Line 17.

I have to do an override to put that amount on that row.  Does that sound right?

"getting a full deduction"

It is limited by the business income. Did the business make enough?

It did.  Thank you for your help! I missed the link at the bottom of the 1095-A
