Form 7206

[Randall]

I use ATX.  Form 7206 shows up in the return.  For Self Employed Health Insurance Deduction.  My client is a W2 employee, no self employed income.  I discarded the form and when I save and check the return, the form is added back into the return.  It doesn't prevent me from creating the efile.  But the form is included in the efile forms list.  I haven't had this form even for other clients who are self employed and take the health insurance deduction.  I simply go to the Statement 1 line for the deduction.  Does anyone know what this form does and why it shows up in my client return?

I had this form show up in one of my SE returns for the first time today as well.    In my case, I had used the worksheet linked to Schedule 1, Line 17 to enter the amount of the premiums and then when I saved the return this form showed up. As I understand it from a quick google search, it is a new form for use in calculating the self-employed health insurance deduction and according to ATX should be attached as a pdf to the e-filed return.   I haven't seen it in any of my non-SE returns....yet.

Form 7206 originated last year. If you are not using Form 7206 to calculate your SEHI deduction, the amount of your deduction very well may be wrong.
