What is Form 1095-A 2022?
Form 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace Statement) provides important tax information about the cost of health insurance and the federal subsidy that you may have received in 2022. This subsidy, known as the Premium Tax Credit (PTC), makes the cost of healthcare coverage cheaper for individuals who purchased plans through the health insurance marketplaces. You'll use Form 1095-A to check if there's any difference between the premium tax credit you used in 2022 and the amount you qualify for. Unlike most tax credits, the government pays the PTC in advance each month directly to insurers.
