Confused as to why I got a PTC refund from my 1095-A form last year and not this year.

Last year I had an AGI that was around 150% of the federal poverty line. I had a 1095-A form last year where I put the correct info in columns A and B, and put 0 in column C because I did not pay anything in advance. I got a huge refund from the 1095-A form, However, this year, my AGI is less than it was last year and I have the same situation with the 1095-A form where I had info for columns A and B, but 0 for C. However, I did not get a refund for the 1095-A form this year. Why is this the case and what, if anything, am I doing wrong? Thanks

It does not sound like you did anything wrong it is really impossible to tell without knowing more details about your return. You said you got a huge refund for your 2023 PTC that may have been incorrect, but there is no way to tell without examining your 2023 tax return information.

 

If you have questions about your Premium Tax Credit (PTC) or Form 1095-A, you should contact your Marketplace directly. 

 

You can also call the IRS Healthcare Hotline for ACA questions at 800-919-0452.

 

These "changes in circumstances" can significantly affect your credit include:

  • Lump-sum payments of Social Security and Social Security Disability benefits
  • Lump-sum taxable distributions from an IRA or Retirement plan
  • Debt forgiveness or cancellation
  • Marriage or divorce
  • Birth or adoption of a child
  • Filing status changes
  • Gaining or losing eligibility for employer or governmental health care coverage

 

If you had any of these changes, that may be the cause of the loss of your premium tax credit in 2024.
