Premium Tax Credit (PTC)
A federal tax credit that lowers ACA Marketplace plan premiums for households between 100-400% of the Federal Poverty Level (and beyond, through 2025).
The Premium Tax Credit reduces ACA Marketplace plan premiums based on household income relative to the Federal Poverty Level. The Inflation Reduction Act extended enhanced PTCs through 2025, eliminating the 400% FPL income cap and capping benchmark-plan premiums at 8.5% of household income. PTCs can be taken in advance (lowering monthly premiums) or claimed at tax-filing time. Reconciled on Form 1095-A.
