Chowdahead Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I am trying to determine what bronze level coverage costs so I can determine if a client with an AGI of $13,000 with and 2 dependents qualifies for the "coverage unaffordable" exemption. I highly assume that she does, however I'd like to see what the costs are based on household size so I can look it up for future clients. ATX doesn't make any mention of the amount. Anyone here using a specific web page or calculator to look this up? I wish ATX calculated this for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytax Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Take a look here to see if this will work for you: http://aspe.hhs.gov/health/reports/2013/MarketplacePremiums/premiumdata/databook.aspx? Also, here is (bottom of page) the average "bronze" plan (2015); if you need the earlier there is a "pointer" there for where to look/figure 2014 too. http://taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/acacalculator.cfm Edited January 17, 2015 by easytax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Keep in mind that plan costs are location sensitive. Even down to county specific. There is no generic amount to be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry D EA Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 There is a pinned post at the top of this forum with some very good links to get the bronze level premium amounts from virtually every State and city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 http://www.valuepenguin.com/ppaca/exchanges http://www.legalconsumer.com/obamacare/rates.php?CITY=KansasCity&ST=mo Here are a couple of sites posted on another tax talk board to find out bronze and silver level costs by county. The second one was for me but I think you can look up your location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Keep in mind that plan costs are location sensitive. Even down to county specific. There is no generic amount to be used. ^ Exactly. The only premium that we don't need a location for is that of the national average bronze plan available through the Marketplace. That amount is $204 per month ($2,448 annual basis) and is one small part of the calculation for the shared responsibility payment in a worksheet for form 8965.

Chowdahead Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Keep in mind that plan costs are location sensitive. Even down to county specific. There is no generic amount to be used. I believe we must use the "national average" premium for a bronze-level plan. So I don't have to look up location specific plans. Correct?
