What to do when having to pay premium tax back?

DD

What do you do when you are self-employed and your income is too high to qualify for the premium tax credit, but adding the premium credit pay back to the self-employed health insurance deduction decreases your income to where you are not required to pay the credit back?

First, you are letting the program do the iterative calculation, right?

Second, test out if contributing to a Traditional IRA will get away from the weird 400% zone.

Third, try doing the calculation manually (which is gruesome), and use 'any reasonable method' to calculate the numbers.
