Thanks for your reply. On a different thread, I got the advice from an Employee Tax Expert to update the software (!), e-file, and if it bounces, paper file. At this point, I will e-file and hope it goes through. If it goes through, I am banking on the hope that hundreds of thousands must have filed that way, that Intuit and the IRS have been in touch, and that the Service is aware of the issue and isn't sending notices if 7206 line 14 and Schedule 1 line 17 don't match. This is genuinely exasperating.
