ACAP Comment Letter on the Definition of the Term “Coverage Month” for Computing the Premium Tax Credit
On November 1, ACAP submitted its comments to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel regarding the definition of the term “coverage month” for computing the premium tax credit.
The letter thanks the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), for the opportunity to comment and agrees that amending the coverage month rule would promote reporting consistency and more consistent treatment among taxpayers by treating the first month of a grace period as a coverage month for PTC purposes, if the other coverage month requirements are satisfied.
ACAP also shares its agreement that a month should be considered a coverage month if a premium payment threshold is met, even if the full premium is not paid, to avoid undue financial burden on lower-income individuals.
