When you prepare your tax return you will enter a 1095A into the software, showing the amounts of the tax credit you received.  You must get the 1095A from healthcare.gov.

If you had health insurance from the marketplace, when you applied for the insurance, you gave healthcare.gov an estimate of how much income you would receive in 2025.  They used that amount to calculate how much of the insurance premium would be covered by the tax credit and how much would be your amount to pay.   So...you had some monthly amounts to pay, and the rest of the cost of having that insurance was paid by the government program.

If you ended up making a higher income than you told them you would receive, they re-calculate how much should have been paid by the program and how much should have been paid by you.   And if your own share of the cost should have been more, they get it back on your income tax return.   

If you actually had less income, you could even get some of the share you paid back on your tax return.

Because you received Advance credit, you probably will still qualify for the credit even though your income is too low.

Unless you have some other disqualifying reason, you won't need to repay anything.  Depending on the circumstances, you may even receive additional credit on the tax return to increase your refund.
