"If I *need* to file before TTax is updated, would it be appropriate to just override the forgiven APTC amount that shows up in the medical expenses portion of Sch A? Or is this an oversimplification and could be wrong in some cases?"
In my personal opinion, I doubt this would cause a reject.
As for "Or is this an oversimplification and could be wrong in some cases?", it appears that TurboTax has plans to stop adding the forgiven excess PTC to medical expenses on Schedule A but hasn't done so yet (and, no, I don't have a date for this).
This would appear to be a reasonable inference form the morass of last-minute changes on the Tax Code and IRS guidance. The only thing about doing the override is that it may void the Tax Accuracy Guarantee (if that matters to you this year), and occasionally an override will stop e-filing. I don't know that this one will, however. All you can do is try it.
