What is Form 8962?
Form 8962 reconciles the advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) received during the year with the actual PTC based on final household income as a percentage of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL). If the actual credit exceeds the advance payments, the difference is an additional credit on Schedule 3 Line 9. If advance payments exceeded the actual credit, the excess must be repaid (with repayment caps for income below 400% FPL).

How PaisaTax Handles It
- Computed from 1095-A monthly premiums, SLCSP amounts, and advance PTC
- FPL percentage determines the applicable contribution percentage for the household
- Reconciliation compares actual PTC to advance payments received
- Repayment caps apply when income is below 400% FPL to limit excess APTC repayment
Common Situations
- Income lower than estimated: Actual PTC exceeds advance — additional credit on Schedule 3 Line 9.
- Income higher than estimated: Advance exceeded actual PTC — repayment required, subject to caps below 400% FPL.
- Income above 400% FPL: Full repayment of all advance PTC with no cap.
