Excess Payment of PTC and Medical Expense Deduction Schedule A

Proseries is now correctly leaving off the repayment of Excess Advance Pmts of PTC. Good on that.

But the software is transferring all of these expenses (amount of insurance actually paid to Healthcare.gov AND the Excess Advance Pmts that do not have to be repaid) to deductible Schedule A medical expense.

That cannot be correct can it? These expenses should not be forgiven AND also deductible right? Nothing is normal anymore so I figured I would ask. Let me know if anyone has seen/heard guidance on this issue from the IRS.

They did a quick fix to get rid of the payback, they didnt get all the domino effects from the change programmed in it seems.

Ive seen other preparers actually getting IRS rejects for these erroneous medical deductions from the APTC

Ive been making a negative adjustment on Line 2a of the medical expenses worksheet in the amount of the excluded payback.

Thanks Lisa! I do understand how to reduce it. My question is, why is Proseries doing this? Are they thinking it may be deductible as well as forgiven? 

I will do the same thing that you are doing until I see IRS guidance. 

However, I want to inform my clients if it may end up also being deductible in addition to forgiven.
