This document covers regulations previously approved under 26 CFR 1.36B-5 which relate to the health insurance premium assistance credit enacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The regulations provide guidance to individuals who claim the premium assistance credit and exchanges that make qualified health plans available to individuals and employers.
The IRS developed Form 1095-A under the authority of ICR section 36B(f)(3) for individuals to compute the amount of premium tax credit and file an accurate tax return.
The agency has updated the number of responses based on it's most recent filing data, resulting in an increase of 1,250,000 responses for a total of 3,250,000 responses (forms) received. This change in responses results in an overall hourly burden increase of 5,000 hours for a total of 16,250 hours.
