The\u00a0premium tax credit<\/a>\u00a0(PTC) helps pay for health insurance coverage bought from the Health Insurance Marketplace. Eligible people can choose to have all, some, or none of the estimated credit paid in advance directly to their insurance company on their behalf. These payments \u2013 which are called\u00a0advance payments of the premium tax credit<\/a>, advance credit payments, or APTC \u2013 lower what taxpayers pay out-of-pocket for their monthly premiums.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, people can choose not to get APTC, pay the full amount of their monthly premium, and claim all the benefit of the PTC that they are allowed when they file their tax return. This will increase their refund or lower the amount of tax they owe. Taxpayers use\u00a0Form 8962<\/a>,\u00a0Premium Tax Credit<\/i>,\u00a0to figure the amount of their PTC and reconcile it with their APTC.<\/p>\n

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021<\/a> suspends the requirement that taxpayers repay their excess advance payments of the\u00a0premium tax credit\u00a0for tax year 2020. Excess APTC is the amount by which the taxpayer’s advance payments of the premium tax credit exceed their premium tax credit.<\/p>\n

Taxpayers who used APTC to help make their monthly payments for their Marketplace plan will need to compare two things to figure out what they need to do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The amount of premium tax credit paid in 2020 to the Marketplace on their behalf in advance.<\/li>\n
  2. The actual premium tax credit they qualify for based on their final income for 2020.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The best way a taxpayer can do this is to complete Form 8962 using the information from Form 1095-A<\/a>, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, as part of their tax preparation.<\/p>\n

    If taxpayers APTC was less than their allowable PTC, they can claim the difference on their 2020 tax return as a net PTC by including Form 8962 with their tax return. The IRS needs the information on the form to process the tax return for taxpayers. If a taxpayer claims a net PTC, and they receive a letter asking for more information, they should respond to the notice so that the IRS can finish processing their 2020 tax return and, if applicable, issue any refund due.<\/p>\n

    If taxpayers have excess APTC for 2020 that is more than their allowable PTC, they are not required to file Form 8962\u00a0or report an excess advance premium tax credit repayment when they file their 2020 Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR.<\/p>\n

    If a taxpayer filed their 2020 tax return before the legislation, reported excess APTC, and received a letter about a missing Form 8962, they don\u2019t need to respond to the letter or contact the IRS. They also don\u2019t need to file an amended tax return<\/a>. The IRS will process 2020 tax returns without Form 8962 by reducing the excess advance premium tax credit repayment amount to zero without further action by the taxpayer.<\/p>\n

    The IRS is taking steps to reimburse those paid the excess advance PTC repayment amount with their 2020 tax return filed before the legislative changes were made. Taxpayers in this situation should not contact the IRS or file an amended return solely to get a refund of this amount. The IRS will provide more details on IRS.gov.<\/p>\n

    This change only applies to 2020 excess APTC repayment. Taxpayers who received the benefit of APTC before 2020 must file Form 8962 to reconcile their APTC and PTC when they file their federal income tax return. This is true even if they aren\u2019t otherwise required to file a tax return for that year. For example, if the taxpayer receives a letter about a 2019 Form 8962, the agency needs more information to finish processing their tax return, and taxpayers should respond to the letter.<\/p>\n
