VITA/TCE ACA Tax Training Webinar

Presented November 9, 2016, this webinar explains how to reconcile the premium tax credit, which provides significant financial assistance to low- and moderate-income families who purchased coverage in the Marketplace. Most people eligible for PTC took it in advance and at tax time will need to reconcile the amount they received in advance with their final credit.

This year’s webinar series is intended to help VITA/TCE sites and other volunteer tax preparers ramp up to expert-level content on the ACA in order to prepare for the 2016 tax season.
