Withholding on Payments by Government Entities to Persons Providing Property or Services; Hearing, 50949-50950 [2011-20987]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 17, 2011 / Proposed Rules (ii) Under paragraph (a)(1) of this section, on their tax returns R is allowed an additional credit of $2 and S is allowed an additional credit of $455. Example 4. Married taxpayers filing separate tax returns. (i) Taxpayers T and U are married and have two dependents. In 2013, the Exchange in the rating area where the family resides determines that their 2014 household income will be $76,000 (340 percent of the federal poverty line for a family of 4, applicable percentage 9.5). T and U enroll in a qualified health plan for 2014. The premium for the applicable benchmark plan is $14,100. The Exchange approves advance credit payments of $573 per month, computed as follows: $14,100 benchmark plan premium minus T and U’s contribution amount of $7,220 ($76,000 × .095) equals $6,880 (total advance credit); $6,880/12 = $573. (ii) T and U file income tax returns for 2014 using a married filing separately filing status. T reports household income of $60,000 and a family size of three (324 percent of the federal poverty line). U reports household income of $16,000 and a family size of one (147 percent of the federal poverty line). (iii) Because T and U are married but do not file a joint return for 2014, T and U are not applicable taxpayers and are not allowed a premium tax credit for 2014. See § 1.36B– 2(b)(2). Under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, half of the advance credit payments ($6,880/2 = $3,440) is allocated to T and half is allocated to U for purposes of determining their excess advance payments. The repayment limitation described in paragraph (a)(3) of this section applies to T and U based on the household income and family size reported on each return. Consequently, T’s tax liability for 2014 is increased by $2,500 and U’s tax liability for 2014 is increased by $600. Emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS § 1.36B–5 Information reporting by Exchanges. (a) Information required to be reported. An Exchange must report to the IRS and a taxpayer the following information for a qualified health plan the taxpayer enrolls in through the Exchange— (1) The premium and category of coverage (such as self-only) for the applicable benchmark plans used to compute advance credit payments and the period coverage was in effect; (2) The total premium for the coverage without reduction for advance credit payments or cost sharing; (3) The aggregate amounts of any advance credit payments or cost sharing reductions; (4) The name, address and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of the primary insured and the name and TIN of each other individual covered under the policy; (5) All information provided to the Exchange at enrollment or during the taxable year, including any change in VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:31 Aug 16, 2011 Jkt 223001 circumstances, necessary to determine eligibility for and the amount of the premium tax credit; (6) All information necessary to determine whether a taxpayer has received excess advance payments; and (7) Any other information required in published guidance of general applicability, see § 601.601(d)(2) of this chapter.
