I have a client that withdrew $100k from her deceased husbands 401k  and we had taxes taken out.  The problem is, is that she is also on the Healthcare marketplace in CO and when I enter her Form 1095-A, she is being required to pay back 98% of her 2021 premium tax credit.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  She now owes over $7,500.  Thank you.

All you can do is try to lower her AGI below the thresh hold/cliff.

IRA (if she has earned income)

SEP ( if she's self-employed)

HSA contribution (if she qualifies).

She doesn't have any earned income.  I thought about the IRA, as well as the rollover but she is past the 60 day timeframe.

It's hard to get that horse back in the barn after the fact...
