APTC Health Insurance Marketplace Credit Question - Need help understanding reconciliation

I got my marketplace insurance through healthcare.gov last year and now I'm trying to figure out this APTC credit stuff on my taxes. My income changed mid-year and idk if I'm gonna owe money back or get more credit. Anyone been through this before? Starting to get worried about filing correctly.

Tax pro here! The APTC (Advanced Premium Tax Credit) reconciliation can be tricky. You'll need Form 8962 to figure this out. If your actual income was higher than what you estimated when you got your insurance, you might have to repay some of the credit. If it was lower, you might get additional credit. The repayment is usually capped based on your income level.

Thanks! Do you know what the income caps are for repayment?

It varies but if you make less than 400% of federal poverty level theres different caps. Above that and you might have to repay everything 😬
