Retirement tax questions

There are no reporting requirements on the 1040 for your HRA. The employer contributions to your HRA are not reported in income. The payments you receive to pay for medical expenses are also not reported by you.

 

Unfortunately, although the HRA predates the ACA, the way the 8962 works didn't take into account that your ACA premiums might be reimbursed by your employer.

 

So, you are correct that you can't get the Premium Tax Credit and also get the reimbursements. Well, you CAN get them, but you don't get to enjoy both. 

 

What you can do, is to determine the amount of the PTC that is being reimbursed by the HRA, and then add it as Other Income on Schedule 1 of the 1040. In TurboTax under Wages & Income, look for Less Common Income and choose Miscellaneous Income. Add it there with a description of "reimbursed PTC".
