carolynm Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I have a client whose income was at 138% poverty level in 2013. For 2014 their return came in at 70% Poverty level. How do you determine if they are eligible for a) coverage under ACA (by my account they'd qualify for medicare in their state) b premium tax credit (since I don't think they qualify under a, I definitely wouldn't think they'd get "b" ) Unless something has changed in the last month, they are enrolled, and receiving a PTC. They have a NOL for 2014, are losing some investment income in 2015 so I have no reason to believe that the figures will change in a positive way. What do I need to tell them?

BulldogTom Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I think you should refer them to their exchange. I am serious, not making a smart @$$ remark. I believe it is the responsibility of the taxpayer to inform the exchange of a change in their eligibility. Tom Newark, CA 2 Quote
Jack from Ohio Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Agree with Tom. We are not the babysitter for their insurance issue. 1 Quote
jklcpa Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 I agree with Tom, and I think the exchange should direct them to Medicaid. I think you meant to say Medicaid, not Medicare. 1 Quote
