Thanks, Jack. It's amazing that no one that I spoke to there would know that it doesn't change above 5. I'm not messing with it until next week. I wasted over an hour and they have a good sized refund. If the website doesn't work for that large a family, then there should be a disclaimer or it should stop you at 5 dependents. I'm too frustrated to worry about it.

Nothing changes above 5 children.  Use 5 and see how it goes.

Just wondering where you found that out?  It is one of those little tidbits I need to keep in the back of my mind.

 

I thought that would be the case, but I would like to see it in writing somewhere if you would be willing to share your source.

 

Thanks Jack.

What kind of information is being requested?  Are these self-employed?

 

They want copies of the original 1095A......Not self employed.  So far, one is a single girl who broke her arm and was off work for some time in 2014.  Premiums were based on 2013 income.  She is a cosmetologist; so, of course, she couldn't work and had no benefits.

The other one that is bringing his in is a case where they each had their own.  She had ACA for first six months; then went onto Medicare.  He had insurance through work for the first five months; then went onto ACA. 

 

Whoever said that the IRS wouldn't be checking these was DEAD WRONG!

Well, that might have been me. But I think I probably got the idea from somebody else. And I hate that you are dealing with it, but maybe if enough people see how this is not exactly the greatest piece of legislative genius ever passed...

Nah, they don't care.

More questions. Did these returns also have refunds due back to the taxpayers that are being held up until the documents are provided? How long ago were these returns filed?  I haven't had any clients receive requests to provide the 1095-A or any other data related to the PTC.

 

I did have a client contacted by the State of PA requesting proof of 529 plan contributions for her grandchildren, but that is a different story.
