If your deduction (22,247) is higher than your actual premiums (19,007), you’ll likely need to pay back some of the Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) you received this year.   If your income was higher than you estimated when you signed up for insurance, the IRS makes you pay back part of the subsidy. Because you are paying that money back, the IRS allows you to add that repayment amount to your Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction reported on Form 7206.   You’re repaying about $3,450 in credits, which gets added to your deduction and helps lower your taxable income. To see how these numbers connect, review these two forms in TurboTax using Forms Mode or the PDF.   Form 8962, Line 29: Look for "Excess advance payment of premium tax credit." This is the amount you are paying back. Form 7206 (Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction): This is the worksheet that calculates the final number for Schedule 1. It pulls the premiums from your 1095-A and adds the repayments from Form 8962.

IRS "Where's My Refund" tool: https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   How did you pay your TurboTax fees?   Did you pay them upfront, or did you choose to pay your fees out of your refund?      The "up to 5 days early offer" or the "pay fees out of refund" option use a third-party bank to first receive a refund from the IRS.   Then that third-party bank sends the rest to your bank account (or card.)   If you paid $35 for the "up to 5 days early" offer, and if it didn't arrive at least 1 day earlier than if the IRS had sent it directly to you, then TurboTax says they will refund the $35.
