Type of Review: Revision.

Title: Health Insurance Premium Tax Credit

Abstract: Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, Public Law 111-152, states will establish exchanges to facilitate enrollment in qualified health plans by individuals. Eligible individuals may claim a premium tax credit on their tax returns that will pay part of the premiums for health plans. In many cases exchanges will approve monthly advance payments of the credit to insurance companies. Section 36B(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code requires exchanges to report information concerning individuals enrolling in qualified health plans that will assist the individuals to properly complete their tax returns and assist the Internal Revenue Service to determine a taxpayer's eligibility for the premium tax credit and the correct amount of the credit. The IRS developed Form 1095-A under the authority of ICR section 36B(f)(3) for individuals to compute the amount of premium tax credit and file an accurate tax return. Marketplaces also must report certain information monthly to the IRS about individuals who receive from the Marketplace a certificate of exemption from the individual shared responsibility provision.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 11,250
