The Marketplace will determine the subsidy based on the information you provide, such as the number of household members, projected household income and whether anyone in the household is eligible for employer-based coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Taxpayers may be eligible for the premium tax credit if their household income falls between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level of the previous year. Here is the federal poverty level for 2015:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">$11,770 for individuals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">$15,930 for a family of 2<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">$20,090 for a family of 3<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">$24,250 for a family of 4<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">You can elect to have your estimated credit paid in advance and offset your insurance premiums, or you can choose to receive your credit after year end on your tax return. Regardless whether you choose to receive the subsidy during the year, you must file a tax return in order to reconcile your advance credit with the true amount of the credit, as calculated on actual tax information and income. If your up-front subsidies are greater than your premium tax credit at year end, you need to pay all or a portion of the credit back to the government. If the premium tax credit at year end is greater than the up-front subsidies, then you will receive a refundable credit for the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/key-dates1.jpg\" data-wa-link=\"body_tpc-keyDates\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1778\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/key-dates1.jpg\" alt=\"key dates\" width=\"862\" height=\"517\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>(Click to enlarge.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please remind your clients that the Open Enrollment Period for Marketplace Plans ends on Jan. 31, 2016.
