If you are eligible for an Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC), the amount of the tax credit that you apply to your plan’s premium cost cannot be more than your total premium amount. So, when you are shopping for a plan and select a tax credit amount to lower your premium cost, please make sure it is less than or equal to the premium that is shown even if you have unused APTC available.

To change your APTC amount, while you are shopping for plans:

  1. Click the “Change Tax Credit” link in the top paragraph of the page that explains what the Advance Premium Tax Credit is and how much you are eligible for.
  2. When you click the link, it will open a modal window in the web webpage that includes a slider to increase or lower the amount of tax credit you want to apply to your monthly premium.
  3. Then, click “Save” to save your changes.
