Is anyone else getting this e-file rejection error when filing Form 8962?

It says: If Form 8962, Line 1 'TotalExemptionsCnt' has a non-zero value, then Line 5 'FederalPovertyLevelPct' must be equal to Line 3 'HouseholdIncomeAmt' divided by Line 4 'PovertyLevelAmt’

The percentage on the form is showing 401%.

Can you explain how to resolver F8962-006-01 - If Form 8962, Line 1 'TotalExemptionsCnt' has a non-zero value, then Line 5 'FederalPovertyLevelPct' must be equal to Line 3 'HouseholdIncomeAmt' divided by Line 4 'PovertyLevelAmt'.

Is this common when allocating share policy or when income is >401% FPL
seems like an intuit error - possibly
