Medical expenses worksheet line 2b - "net of adjustments" - where does this come from

[DumbDadLTG]

Married filing jointly, retired and participating in Affordable Care Act (ACA).

2023 was first year 2024 is second year on program. I trust TurboTax, but my income will be unexpectedly changing for 2024 (from my initial ACA Estimate) so was looking into how all this reconciles -  for my 2024 tax filing expectations. I understand that part now, but through the search process (looking at 2023 TTax again) I discovered I have a question about where this  line 2b"net of adjustments" - figure comes from??? I don't see it in any "math" reviewing my 1095A totals (e.g.; C-A, B-A). It's order of magnitude close, but those 1095 math calcs are closer to $4000, and line 2b is closer to $3000

Any suggestions on there this specific line2b figure is coming from?

The best I can tell, line 2b on medical expenses worksheet comes from Form 8962.  Premiums paid (either 11A or sum of 12A-23A) minus Total Premium Tax Credit (line 24).

Hi there hikeonthru, and Thx for the quick reply. I ran that math and don't think that's it. when I'm in "forms" mode in TTax progra, I can click on that value/cell in Med Worksheet line 2b and see where (go to supporting form) the figure points to (1095-A), but no such value in THAT (1095-A) page.

any TTax employees out there??

I'm having the same issue.  I can't duplicate line 2b from any of my medical insurance premiums.  Clicking on the value in for form page just references Form 1095-A but combination of the numbers on that form match the value on Line 2b of the medical expense worksheet.
