BulldogTom Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 10 minutes ago, TAXMAN said: cannot find where we do not have to pay back excess health premimun credit. Is this so? Here is the section of the bill that says you don't have to pay back the APTC. The underlined portion (my formatting) refers to subparagraph (A), which in the original law gives the secretary the authority to collect any excess APTC from the taxpayer. SEC. 9662. TEMPORARY MODIFICATION OF LIMITATIONS ON RECONCILIATION OF TAX CREDITS FOR COVERAGE UNDER A QUALIFIED HEALTH PLAN WITH ADVANCE PAYMENTS OF SUCH CREDIT. (a) In General.—Section 36B(f)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new clause: “(iii) TEMPORARY MODIFICATION OF LIMITATION ON INCREASE.—In the case of any taxable year beginning in 2020, for any taxpayer who files for such taxable year an income tax return reconciling any advance payment of the credit under this section, the Secretary shall treat subparagraph (A) as not applying.”. (b) Effective Date.—The amendment made by this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019.

Here is the section of the bill on UI. Underline is mine. "I think" it is $10,200 each, but I will wait for someone with more authority to say my interpretation is correct. “(c) Special Rule For 2020.— “(1) IN GENERAL.—In the case of any taxable year beginning in 2020, if the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer for such taxable year is less than $150,000, the gross income of such taxpayer shall not include so much of the unemployment compensation received by such taxpayer (or, in the case of a joint return, received by each spouse) as does not exceed $10,200. “(2) APPLICATION.—For purposes of paragraph (1), the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer shall be determined— “(A) after application of sections 86, 135, 137, 219, 221, 222, and 469, and “(B) without regard to this section.”.

Why can't they write these things more clearly? A simple "per taxpayer" at the end, would make this really clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, I have very good clients and they trust me when I say something. I will be selling my business after this tax season. Possi, are you serious about selling?

Students start at 24 to 116 years. I guess those retires who make $3K a year and we have been telling them that they don't have to file, they should because of the EIC. Excellent point! I hadn't even considered this new dynamic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read down through bill and cannot find where we do not have to pay back excess health premimun credit. Is this so? 2nd observance wonder if the portal will require all the verifications required to check your EIP amounts? UI does apply to each spouse but the exempt amount is 10,200 each for a total of 20,400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 It could be per return since most places mention "the first $10,200 of 2020 unemployment benefits nontaxable." It would be nice if they would say $10,200 per tax payer for a max of $20,400 for MFJ or they could say $10,200 per tax return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
