## Summary

**Extends the enhanced premium tax credit** under the Affordable Care Act and preserves expanded eligibility for some higher-income households. It would push the relevant expiration dates to 2028 for the enhanced credit and to January 1, 2029 for the higher-income rule. - 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.
