Premium tax credit and marriage


Possi

Recommended Posts

My client had marketplace insurance for 3 months in 2018, then got married and went on hubby's insurance.

She is already separated and filing MFS. 

She has to pay back all of the advance payments, almost $1500. According to the instructions, MFS cannot use the alternative calculation. 

I have searched and read the instructions for the 8962, and I do not see any way that she won't have to pay this back.  

Am I missing something?  Can she apply for relief within this tax return? Can she apply for relief outside the tax return?

From my sleep-deprived memory, I think the "help" for abused spouses has to do with filing MFS withOUT having to pay everything back. Look for that exception within the form, maybe. That's all I got.

I did find that! I can't USE it, but I found it~ Thanks everybody.

I'll take a shot at an answer:  Isn't her payback limited by her or is she paying it all back because she has high income?
