If you received the Premium Tax Credit as a monthly advance (APTC) to reduce your healthcare premiums, the credit amount was an estimate. It was based on your 2016 estimated income, usually based on your last years income when you signed up.

If your income for 2016 was more than your estimated income, you may have to pay back some of the credit that reduced your monthly payments.
