| The flood of phones calls to my office (McVay Business Services) has begun. Over the past 3-weeks I have received over 10 calls regarding letters from the I.R.S. that demand some or all of their current or past year health care tax credits to be repaid. These letters are just starting to arrive in taxpayers mail boxes. Ask, why now? The reason is for years this administrative nightmare of advance credits to pay for health insurance have never been reconciled properly. Now that the I.R.S. has caught up on past year tax credit reconciliations with your yearly tax return filing the damage is now coming to light. Why would I own money back for something I already received. The ACA law allowed the I.R.S to front credits to you and pay for your health insurance. This was great to allow the Gov. to help pay some or all of your health insurance so you had less or no out of pocket cost based on your last years income. This is fine if your income stays the same or goes down. Each year these credits are reconciled on your current years return and if you made more money than the past year you actually received more credit than was due to you. If you don't file a tax return and reconcile these credits you will now see your current health insurance credit disappear and you will be responsible for the entire cost of your monthly health insurance plan. Because of the good economy, many taxpayers are seeing they owe money now as their income raises. I.R.S reports that the last 2 years, installment agreement request to pay back money to the I.R.S are up over 2000%. In 2019, as of August the I.R.S is still backlogged processing 2018 installment agreements. Because the catch-up process has been completed at the I.R.S, letters are now being mailed to taxpayers that have either not filed prior year returns, missed reporting and reconciling their year end form 1095-A or made more money one year that may allow the I.R.S to demand this money back. I have clients having to pay as low as a few dollars to thousands and even $17,000 based on their reported income and type of healthcare plan. There are options however !
