Good Evening I have been trying to find an answer to the following situation I have run into.. I have a client that made more money than expected and had to repay the excess APTC in the amount of $23,655.00 due to this the State of California was issuing him a PAS of $18,297.00 so at the end of the day he was going almost break even....

When the American Rescue Plan eliminated the repayment of APTC I thought the California PAS would be reduced but now ProSeries is calculating no APTC repayment but still the California is calculating a PAS of $18,297.00. It just doesn't seem coherent for him to get so much money back from the State if he no longer has to pay the Federal...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated...

They just updated the federal software.  States are always going to lag behind.

This is such a mess.  It's not just you.  The Drake software programmers asked CA FTB about this and their response was:

"There is no change to the CA premium assistance subsidy calculation."

I'm not a CA preparer but it sure sounds like more free money for people who made more money in 2020 than they thought they were going to make.  Be sure to pick out a good wine to go with the free cheese.
