Repayment of excess advance premium tax credit?

[Heather M]

Has any one figured out a way to elect out of the repayment, or are we still waiting on an update from proseries?

There was an update a couple of days ago.  Go to your computer start menu and click on ProSeries and then click repair updates -------- unless you just haven't run an update in the last couple of days.

I just opened a previously filed return and it shows that change and pulls up a 1040X showing the reduction in tax. The amount of excess credit repayment is gone from schedule 2.

Ive been doing some "Google Research" and I cannot tell if the IRS has issued the expected guidance on this issue: re: whether to amend, or wait and see if the IRS is able to make automatic changes - like they are supposedly doing for the Unemployment.

Not supposed to amend.

Thankyou for that - I actually got to call a client today and tell them not to mail that $5K + check!

I enjoy those phone calls and really made her weekend as well.
