In the Medical expenses worksheet, where do I write my full payment to my health insurance?? I only received 1095-B but i know the total amount of my payments

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

it is the professional version, but in the worksheet i need to enter the total amount i paid for my insurance during the year,?

if you mean for the self-employed deduction, then you would begin on your schedule c input

@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?

I'm asking on behalf of a client,

my question is:

my client paid health insurance for 2018 and he received 1095-B shows that he was covered all year. and he paid ($13,000 for his plan). now I want to enter the amount that he paid during 2018 on (schedule A > medical and dental expenses > medical expenses worksheet).

which field should use to enter that amount?

Thank you

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

[Tax-prep]

yes they paid out of pocket. Thank you
