may 5th update of SE Health Insurance with PTC Worksheet amounts keep changing

[preparer227]

ReaIly getting confused about the May 5th update about SE Health Insurance and premium Tax Credit.   Amount shown of $336 on Line A of Worksheet when I enter the $336 on Line B then Line A switches to $149.  when I change to 336 Line B says 149

  HELP!

Yep, they fixed one thing and screwed up another....I chased it around in a circle until I could get the 2 lines to match as close as possible....sounds like youre stuck with the 336/149 combo, I was able to get them closer on the ones that I have....I dont know what the right answer is for this.

Yep, in their infinite stupidity, Intuit 'fixed' a very minor problem by disabling the Iterative calculation, which gives us a much bigger problem.

You can either (a) do the calculation manually to see what the result is for the "alternative" calculation , or (b) claim you are using "another reasonable method" by picking one of those numbers (while you are at it, pick the one that has the best results).

Has anyone heard if they are going to fix again or is it best just to manually go with it?

I dont think anyone from Intuit has even acknowledged its a problem yet in any of these threads.
