After you file

The repayment provision starts at $2,000 per child at the bottom of the income range ($60,000 for married filing jointly). It gradually phases out until you get up to $120,000 at which point you will receive no repayment protection. 

 

The phase-out range by filing status is:

  • $60,000 - 120,000 if you are married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower;
  • $50,000 - 100,000 if you are filing as head of household; and
  • $40,000 - 80,000 if you are a single filer or you are married and filing a separate return.

TurboTax will automatically calculate the amount of repayment protection you are eligible for if your income falls within the phase-out range.
