Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Because it appears that you deducted the premium payments on Schedule A of your 2020 Form 1040, the MLR rebate that you received in 2021, is taxable to the extent that you received a tax benefit from the deduction, whether the rebate is received as a cash payment or applied as a reduction in the amount of premiums due for 2021.  As such, you should report this income as a taxable refund on Schedule 1, line 1.  Your Schedule 1, line 1 entry will transfer to your Form 1040, line 10.

 

Follow these steps to enter your taxable MLR into TurboTax.
