In the professional version, the medical worksheet.  Be careful that you are not entering numbers that were paid before tax.

@Tax prep   You keep saying "my"...is this for your own return or a clients?   

you need to clarify what youre asking....is  this a self employed person? Is this health insurance paid through an employer?

You should see a line for health insurance premiums Line 2a.  They were paid out of pocket, right?  Not pre-tax through an employer?
