Premium tax credit as a resident alien

I am currently on an F-1 visa and currently working in the US under STEM OPT. I recently included my 1095-A on my tax return and it said I qualified for the premium tax credit. I am considered resident alien for tax purposes but I want to know if I can claim that tax credit even as someone who does not have a green card or United States citizenship.

Premium tax credit as a resident alien

There is no requirement for a Green Card or Citizenship.  As long as you are legally in the United States, you can potentially qualify for the credit.

 

You seem to already know the rules for becoming a Tax Resident, but just in case ... a person on a F-1 visa is usually a Nonresident Alien for the first 5 calendar years that they are in the US.  You generally would become a Resident Alien in the 6th calendar year that you are in the US.  I just wanted to point that out because some people are not aware of that rule.
