Avoid Tax Penalties: Navigating Health Insurance Income Reporting
As an experienced & Licensed health insurance agent with RKA Insurance Advisors, I've witnessed how this time of year brings a wave of concerns for individuals and families regarding tax penalties related to reported income when applying for health coverage. It's a recurring issue that often catches people off guard, but understanding the reasons behind it can help you navigate through smoothly.
One common reason for facing tax penalties is unintentionally underreporting income to the marketplace. It's easy to overlook certain sources of income or miscalculate earnings, leading to discrepancies when reconciling tax credits received for health insurance premiums.
Additionally, for those who are married but file separate tax returns, the rules for income reporting can be tricky. Different thresholds and calculations apply, potentially resulting in unexpected penalties.
Another scenario arises when individuals have the option of employer-sponsored coverage but choose a marketplace policy subsidized by tax credits. This can lead to penalties if the employer coverage is deemed affordable under the Affordable Care Act standards.

While we are not accountants or financial advisors, we specialize in health insurance solutions tailored to your specific needs.
