Show full summary
- Families and Marketplace enrollees: Continues the enhanced premium tax credit for people who buy Marketplace plans through 2028. This keeps the enhanced assistance option in place for those tax years.
- Higher-income households: Maintains the rule letting taxpayers with household income above 400 percent of the federal poverty line claim the credit until January 1, 2029. That extends access for some taxpayers who would otherwise be excluded.
- Timing for tax years: The bill's changes would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
