I looked for a post with this question but didn't find one. If I missed it, please point me to it.
Otherwise, here it is. Is it better to get the monthly subsidy on an ACA policy, or to take the Premium Tax Credit at the end of the year?
For the past 2 years, we didn't take the monthly subsidy and took the PTC at the end of the year (mostly to be able to convert just a little more into our Roth IRAs). But if I look at amount that the state is willing to give us in a monthly subsidy, that total figures to be about 10% higher over the course of a year.
I always thought it was a "wash". Am I missing something? Your thoughts appreciated.
