Premium Tax Credit

AAE
Level 1

I have a client who gave me a 1095-A and they did not receive any credit in advance so they are receiving the premium tax credit for what they paid. However, I am not sure they qualify for the credit since they are able to get coverage through the husband's employer sponsored plan. I don't see an option to remove the credit or to enter that they qualify for an employee sponsored plan. Do I leave the credit as is on their return?

You need to determine if the employer insurance was "affordable" or not.

If the employer insurance was "affordable", then you enter $0 for the SLCSP.

Ah okay that makes sense. Thank you. I will get more information from my client on this.

How do I determine if coverage was affordable? It is difficult to understand in the instructions.
