The following diagnostic is generating:
Form 8962: Household income on line 3 must equal the total of line 2a, Modified AGI, and 2b, dependents' modified AGI, for efile purposes. If the total of lines 2a and 2b are negative, zero will print on line 3 and this return will need to filed as a conventional paper return.
Solution:
To e-file it must follow these rules. The first rule is: Line 3 MUST equal the total of lines 2a and 2b. The second rule is: If the sum of lines 2a and 2b are a negative then Line 3 MUST entered as Zero. So IF the sum of lines 2a and 2b are a negative then Line 3 must entered as Zero and with that it breaks Rule 1 so it cannot be e-filed This does not mean that a taxpayer with a negative modified AGI cannot claim a Premium Tax Credit, only that the return cannot be electronically filed.
