Bill Summary
Beginning in 2026, this bill allows an individual who pays monthly premiums for a qualified health plan under the federal Affordable Care Act to claim as a refundable individual income tax credit the premium assistance amount that the individual would have been eligible to claim under federal law for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2026. During that period, an eligible individual would have been able to claim under federal law premium assistance credits to lower the costs of premiums for qualified health plans offered under the ACA. Under the bill, if the amount of the credit exceeds the individual’s tax liability, the individual will receive the excess as a refund. Finally, the bill prohibits an individual from claiming the credit for taxable years beginning after 2025 if the individual is again eligible to receive premium assistance credits under federal law. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, allows individuals who pay monthly premiums for a qualified health plan, which is a health insurance plan certified under the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA), to claim a state income tax credit. This credit is for the amount of premium assistance they would have been eligible to receive under federal law for tax years between 2021 and 2025, which are federal tax credits designed to lower health insurance costs. If the credit amount is more than the individual's tax liability, the excess will be refunded to them. However, this state credit cannot be claimed for tax years after 2025 if the individual is once again eligible for federal premium assistance. The bill also makes an appropriation, meaning it sets aside state funds to cover the cost of these tax credits.
