Answer:

  1. $7,000
  2. $0

Step-by-step explanation:

Self-employed people can deduct 100% of their medical insurance premiums (including her whole family), this even includes dental coverage. So Jean is able to deduct the full $7,000 she spent in medical insurance premiums during 2019.

If Jean wants to itemize her deductions then she will not be allowed to deduct any of the $7,000. So her deductions would be $0.
