I filed my taxes in Mid February and had to pay back my estimated ACA premium deductions.  I just updated the taxes and now it is saying I did not owe them and that I should have had a small refund.  What Changed and should I file an amended return

    What happened is that in March Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act, which retroactively suspended repayment of excess Advance Premium Tax Credit for 2020. Do not file an amended return. The IRS is recalculating tax returns that include repayment of excess APTC, and they will send you a refund. See the following links on the IRS web site for more information.
