Form 7203 Self-Employed Health Insurance

Hi,

When I import a K1 from an SCorp into my client's individual return, the health insurance amount isn't showing on line 45 on form 7203. I entered in the amounts in the usual SE health insurance fields. Still doesn't show. When I contacted Lacerte, I was told to enter the health insurance deduction in screen 20.2/ Line 12 - other deductions as "L - Deductions - portfolio (other). When I do that the health insurance shows on Schedule A as other deduction, and twice on Sched CA. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Thank you!

Shouldn't a 'self-employed' individual of an S-corp have a W-2.....& the SEHI would be shown there, no?

That is blatantly wrong.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

@Kathi_at_Intuit 

IF the advice provided by someone at support is as reported by this O.P. you should track down that individual and have a chat.  

Blatantly wrong (as Susan said)  is an understatement

@TiffanyPage Let us look into this and get back with you. Before we do, we looked at the instructions for the 7203 and did not see that it said to report the SE health on line 45 of form 7203. Is this where ithe amount should be reported?

@TiffanyPage Thanks for getting back to us. We've checked on this and the instructions for Form 7203 for IND and they does not mention SE Health. When doing Jump to Input (JTI) on line 45 of Form 7203, it shows that the following will flow to that line:

 

Screen 20.2 (Code 2)  Unreimbursed expenses (enter as positive) [Adjust]
Screen 20.2 (Code 64) (12H) Interest expense>Passive 
Screen 20.2 (Code 15) (12J)Secion 59(e) (2) Dry hole expense 
Screen 20.2 (Code 844)   Line 12 - Other deductions Other Deductions

 

We would take a look at the JTI boxes and see if any of these fit for the SE Health.  

 

We also see that there is this Support article that might help.
