Is Your ACA Tax Credit Safe After You Die?
Do you ever worry about what will happen to your ACA health insurance tax credits if you die? One common misconception is that the IRS will come after your dependents to repay the tax credits you received.
The Truth About Estate Recovery and Medicaid
There is some truth to the estate recovery law, but it only applies to Medicaid long-term care. This means that if you receive Medicaid benefits for nursing home care or other long-term care services, the state may seek reimbursement from your estate after you die.
ACA Tax Credits Are Not Medicaid
ACA health insurance tax credits are not considered Medicaid. They are a subsidy that helps low- and moderate-income Americans afford health insurance. As such, they are not subject to the estate recovery law.
No Repayment Required for ACA Tax Credits
In short, if you receive ACA health insurance tax credits, you do not need to worry about your dependents being forced to repay them after you die. Your dependents will not be held responsible for any tax credits you received.
Peace of Mind
You can rest assured that your ACA health insurance tax credits are safe and secure. You and your dependents will not be required to repay them after your death.
