Troubleshooting Lacerte diagnostic ref. 43487 - two or more 1095-As linked to multiple businesses

by Intuit•4• Updated 1 year ago

When two or more Form 1095-A are linked to multiple businesses for self-employment health insurance purposes, the following diagnostic generates in Lacerte:

Two or more Form 1095-A's are linked to multiple businesses for self-employment health insurance purposes. Lacerte does not support linking self-employed health insurance to multiple businesses. (ref. #43487)

Example of when this diagnostic might generate

The Taxpayer had a Schedule C while single. The Taxpayer also had health care coverage through the marketplace.
The spouse had a separate Schedule C while single. The spouse also had health care coverage through the marketplace.
Later in the year they married and received separate 1095-As while self-employed.

How do I resolve this diagnostic?

Do the following to resolve this diagnostic:

Make sure the Schedule C activities (businesses) are marked correctly for the taxpayer or spouse. If both activities are marked as Taxpayer—or both activities are marked as Spouse—the diagnostic will continue to generate.
On Screen 24, Adjustments to Income, check for any entries in the SE Health Insurance section. Remove any entries in the Net Earnings (if multiple businesses) field (if only 1 business is present).
