1 ACA & the Tax Season Common Cents Tara Straw September 9, 2014
2 The ACA on the Tax Return 2 Reporting health coverage For every month For everyone on the return Exemptions from the individual responsibility payment If no health coverage and no exemption, calculation of the individual responsibility payment Calculation/reconciliation of the premium tax credit Common client questions
3 DID YOU HAVE HEALTH COVERAGE IN 2014?
4 2014 Coverage 4 Tax volunteer will complete a section of the intake sheet during the taxpayer interview: Did you, your spouse and everyone claimed as a dependent have health coverage in 2014? Yes, coverage all year Coverage part of the year No coverage at all I qualify for an exemption To count, the coverage must be minimum essential coverage (MEC) The vast majority of coverage will qualify as MEC or will earn the taxpayer relief from the 2014 individual responsibility payment.
5 Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) 5 QUALIFIES AS MEC Employer sponsored coverage Employee coverage COBRA Retiree coverage Individual health insurance Purchased from a health insurance company Purchased through the Marketplace Provided through a student health plan Government-sponsored plans Medicare Most Medicaid CHIP Most TRICARE Most VA State high-risk insurance pools Peace Corps Refugee Medical Assistance MEC is often straightforward Coverage for one day = coverage for the month No tax document available to verify MEC in 2014 Employers and insurers will report coverage to taxpayers and IRS starting in Tax Year LIMITED BENEFITS THAT ARE NOT MEC Single-benefit coverage (e.g., dental-only or vision-only plans) Accident or disability insurance Workers compensation Limited-benefit Medicaid Exemption available for Space-available TRICARE 2014 no penalty Line of duty TRICARE AmeriCorps/AfterCorps coverage
6 Reporting Coverage on the Form If everyone on the tax return had coverage all year If anyone on the tax return had no coverage for one or more months, go to Form 8965 to determine eligibility for exemptions Exemptions? From the IRS? From the Marketplace? If no coverage and no exemption, calculate payment on Shared Responsibility Payment Worksheet.
7 EXEMPTIONS 7
8 Exemptions Report Eligibility Directly to IRS by Code Letter Requires Exemption Number Issued by the Marketplace Income below filing threshold Insurance is unaffordable (based on actual income) Certain noncitizens Short coverage gap (< 3 months) Months prior to effective date of MEC that is effective on or before May 1, 2014 Hardship, including: Life circumstances Insurance is unaffordable (based on projected income) State failure to expand Medicaid Eligible for Indian Health services Plan cancellation Member of certain religious sects Granted by either the Marketplace or the IRS Indian tribe membership Incarceration Health care sharing ministry
9 Exemptions Granted by the Marketplace 9 Form 8965 Part I In most cases, exemptions from the Marketplace require an application Exception: People who are in the Medicaid coverage gap get an exemption automatically if they (1) applied to the federal marketplace and (2) were denied Medicaid. People who were granted an exemption will receive an ECN (exemption certificate number), a 6 digit letter/number code.
10 Exemptions Granted by the IRS Form 8965 Part II Income below the filing threshold No need to file a return just to claim this exemption Form 8965 Part III Enter code for IRS-granted exemptions Many exemption options!
11 Exemptions at Tax Filing 11 Types of Exemptions Granted by the IRS Certain Populations Incarcerated individuals Members of Indian tribes *Or people eligible for care through the Indian Health Service Certain noncitizens Nonresident aliens Undocumented residents Members of a health care sharing ministry *Or members of certain religious sects
12 Exemptions at Tax Filing 12 Types of Exemptions Granted by the IRS Gaps in Coverage Short coverage gap (< 3 months) If the coverage gap is 3 months or longer, none of the months in the gap qualify for exemption. If there are multiple gaps in a year, only the first gap qualifies. Months prior to effective date of MEC effective on or before May 1, 2014 A person who enrolls in Marketplace coverage or Medicaid or CHIP or other individual or group insurance with an effective date on or before May 1, 2014 can receive an exemption for months they did not have coverage prior to that date. Transition rule for employer-sponsored coverage A person who had an offer of employer-sponsored coverage with a plan year that began in 2013 is not subject to the shared responsibility payment for the months in 2014 covered by that plan year, even if the person failed to enroll in the plan.
13 Exemptions at Tax Filing 13 Types of Exemptions Granted by the IRS Coverage costs >8% of income Household income = adjusted gross income (including taxable portion of SS) + foreign income + tax-exempt interest Affordability Eligible for employer-sponsored insurance (ESI)? Coverage is unaffordable if: For the employee: the lowest cost self-only plan costs more than 8% of household income. For members of the employee s family: the lowest cost family plan costs more than 8% of household income. If multiple family members have ESI offers: the aggregate cost of ESI exceed 8%. Not eligible for ESI? Coverage is unaffordable if: Lowest cost bronze plan (after premium tax credits) for all non-exempt members of the taxpayer s family costs more than 8% of household income.
14 Exemptions at Tax Filing 14 Types of Exemptions Granted by Marketplace Hardships Taxpayer should contact the Marketplace for an exemption if any of these circumstances apply: Homelessness Eviction in the last 6 months or facing eviction or foreclosure Utility shut-off notice Bankruptcy Domestic violence Recent death of family member Disaster that resulted in significant property damage Debt from medical expenses High expenses caring for ill, disabled or aging relative Failure of another party to comply with a medical support order for a dependent child who is determined ineligible for Medicaid or CHIP Through an appeals process, determined eligible for a Marketplace QHP, PTC, or CSR but was not enrolled Individual health insurance plan was cancelled and Marketplace plans are considered unaffordable Other hardship in obtaining coverage (including for people in AmeriCorps, VISTA and NCCC who are enrolled limited duration or self-funded coverage)
