How to correct Form 8962 and Self Employment Health Insurance Deduction Error

I completed a self employed client's return who received a 1095-A.  Had the American Rescue Plan not passed the client would have owed excess premium tax credit.  I received no errors and waited to hear back from the client on another issue.  Went to do another review and now I get this error -  "Form 8962: Premium Tax Credit Liab - The recently enacted American Rescue Plan suspended the requirement to payback excess Premium Tax Credit.  The product is still being updated to exclude the repayment from the Self Employed Health Care Calculation."  I realize that Form 8962 does not need to be filed with return but because there is a self employed health insurance calculation, is it ok to plug the self employed health insurance number in and delete the 1095-A information so that Form 8962 does not generate?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Depends - do you want to do it right?

I think I would try un-linking the 1095-A/8962 from the Schedule C, then enter the proper amount on the spot for it on the Schedule C worksheet.

I don't think that is correct.  Part of that money will not be eligible for self employed health insurance.

I would wait for the worksheet.

I said to enter the  "proper" amount, which is the 'net' amount paid.
