I just want to deduct the amount I paid out of pocket for my health insurance in the SEHI (annual premium paid minus premium credit).
This isn't a problem with the software. The [problem is that the SEHI deduction affects AGI which affects PTC which affects the SEHI deduction which affects AGI which affects PTC ...
In cases where the this iterative calculation converges to a particular number, the IRS's iterative method works fine. In cases where it doesn't converge, generally when AGI is around 100%, 133%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300% or 400% of the federal poverty level, the iterative defaults to a SEHI deduction that is suboptimal. In that case you have to accept the result or on your own come up with a value for the SEHI deduction that produces a better result. There is no prescribed other method to use for your own calculation, you'll likely just have to try other values for the SEHI and see if it produces a better result without violating the requirement that the sum of PTC and the SEHI not exceed the total premiums.
