Health Care Credits

[ADT07945]

I anticipated qualifying for substantial credits, since I paid the full premium amount in 2019, but my income fell dramatically. In the past, TurboTax automatically adjusted, and calculated whether I would do better taking credit or deduction as medical expense. The credits would be much better, but TT said I paid proper amount, and did not indicate that I would qualify for a credit.  There is no question that my income would have qualified for full premium support. Did I enter information improperly, did TT make an error, or is there some new IRS policy in effect?

In general, individuals and families may be eligible for the premium tax credit if their household income for the year is at least 100 percent but no more than 400 percent of the federal poverty line for their family size.  Did you enter your 1095-A information in TurboTax?  It would have been calculated on your income.  See 2019 POVERTY GUIDELINES for the amounts.

PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE IRS AGAINST INTUIT dba TURBOTAX, 2700 Coast Ave., Mountain View, CA 94043.  The form to use is:  IRS 14157.  TurboTax charged me for filing, despite my low income; they did not file the form required for health care credits - AND the Marketplace says if you did not file that form you are ineligible (forever) from receiving health care credits in the future.  Do not lay down and be treated this way! File the complaint with the IRS.
