We underestimated our income for this year for purposes of ACA. We have been subsidized $1,000 per month when we will NOT be eligible for any subsidy this year. We will owe back $12k by year end. Questions:
Can I pay back the $12,000 before the end of the year to catch it up?
Will the $12k still be deductible on our 2017 taxes?
Will I have to wait until tax filing time next year?
I have spoken with my insurance carrier who says I have to talk to the ACA marketplace people. The ACA marketplace people told me to make a life change entry on my application with no additional instructions on how to pay back. I entered the change. The IRS told me they didn't know and tried to transfer me to another department. The IRS person told me after exhausting all her resources said "I don't know why they passed that healthcare act, it's so confusing"
Have any of you dealt with this issue? I'll keep trying until I get an answer. I just don't want to wait until year end and get slapped with a penalty when I file my tax return next year. Plus I want to claim a deduction on my Medical expenses for the premiums. Help!!!
