Excess premium Tax Credit as Adjustment to Income

[AnmarieA]

I have a self employed individual who obtained insurance from the Market Place and she paid $5,457 for insurance in 2024 for 12 months of coverage while she was self employed. Her Sch C business had net income of $81K in 2024 hence greater than the insurance paid that should allow 100% adjustment to income. However her income was higher than reported when she applied for the ACA insurance causing the repayment of the excess advance PTC on her return of $1,680. I can not see how the adjustment to income is being calculated as I would expect the amount on line 17 of Sch 1 of the Form 1040 to be $7,137 comprised of the $5,457 she paid out of pocket plus the excess premium tax credit of $1,680 that she is paying back on the tax return. Does anyone know how ProConnect is calculating the adjustment to income? No other health insurance premiums were entered in the return except the $5,457 added to the adjustment to income health insurance paid. The software shows an adjustment amount of $10,467 which is $5,010 higher than if I remove the input amount. Can someone explain how the software is calculating this SE Health Insurance Adjustment. Thanks for your asssistance.

You are asking about how a product (ProConnect) computes things. Start such a question by selecting the product (ProConnect) when you start. Tax Talk is for general type questions.

Are you sure the $10K is all health insurance? Maybe it's health insurance plus SE tax deduction, all on schedule 1?

Yes as on Sch 1 Part ll Line 17 shows the SE Health Insurance and Line 15 shows the Self Employment Tax. Only addressing the Line 17. Thanks!

Thanks for the response as I must have not selected "ProConnect" topic in error.

I already had done what you referenced in your response and the figure was still not correct which is  why I asked for assistance. An amount was showing up as an adjustment to income on Schedule Part ll  Line 17 but not the correct amount without any figure in the adjustment line. 

I still don't understand where the software is getting the figure from as I can't calculate what the software is coming up with. Hence I did an adjustment to income so the amount calculated by the software and the adjustment equaled the amount of premiums paid by the taxpayer including the PTC repayment.  That is my understanding of what the amount should be.
