Deductions & credits
Thanks for the solution and explanation. I'm glad to resolve this.
For anyone reading this, I recommend this calculator to come up with best "iterative" calculation for PTC credit and health insurance deduction. I followed IRS iterative calculation instructions (very tedious and will make a person insane) and my result was within $6 of the calculator. Save yourself some time....

Sounds as if this isn't a problem for everyone who is self-employed and buys Marketplace insurance. My theory is that it is a problem for us because our AGI is right around 400% of poverty level--it is just below at 396% when credit/deduction is to our best advantage. TT put us in the 401% group.
