How the premium tax credit works
The subsidy that lowers a marketplace plan’s monthly cost, and how it is settled on your tax return.
In plain words
The premium tax credit lowers the monthly cost of a marketplace plan. How much you get depends on your household’s expected income and size.
You can take it in advance, paid straight to your insurer each month, or claim it when you file.
At tax time, Form 8962 compares what you received in advance with what your actual income allowed. The marketplace sends Form 1095-A with the figures you need.
