AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN PART TWO

The guidance will be forthcoming and the IRS stated that any returns filed without the guidance can amend their returns to reflect the changes. The Act also eliminates the recapture provisions applicable to 2020 for taxpayers receiving excess premium tax credits. For tax years beginning in 2021 or 2022, the premium tax credit may be available for a taxpayer who purchases coverage through a health exchange, even if their household income for the year is 400% or more of the poverty line for their family size. Unemployment compensation is generally included in the calculation for gross income, and in determining the household income. If unemployment compensation is received for any week beginning in 2021. the individual is treated as being eligible for the premium tax credit. American rescue plan part two.
