Premium Tax Credit + Your Letter 0012C + IRS Tax Help +What You Need to Know
Requesting information to reconcile Advance Payments of the Premium Tax Credit.
We are sending you this letter because:
• the Health Insurance Marketplace notified us that they made advance payments of the premium tax credit to your or your family’s health insurance company to reduce your premium costs in 2015 and
• you didn’t include the Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit, to reconcile the advance payments that were paid on your behalf when you filed your individual 2015 tax return.
When the Health Insurance Marketplace pays advance payments of the premium tax credit on your behalf, you must file Form 8962 to reconcile the advance payments to the actual amount of the Premium Tax Credit that you are eligible for based on your actual household income and family size.
You must use the Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, sent to you from your Health Insurance Marketplace to complete Form 8962.
If you don’t reconcile:
If you don’t reconcile, you won’t be eligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit or cost-sharing reductions to help pay for your Marketplace health insurance coverage for the following calendar year.
What you need to do
• Read your letter carefully and respond timely.
• You must respond to the letter, even if you disagree with the information in the letter. If you disagree, send us a letter explaining what information you think is in error.
If you didn’t purchase a health insurance policy from the Marketplace, you must let us know.
• Provide the information requested in the letter.
This includes:
◦ a copy of your Form 1095A provided by your Marketplace,
◦ a completed Form 8962
◦ a copy of the corrected second page from your original return that shows the “Tax and Credits” and “Payments” sections. You must complete either the line for “excess advance premium tax credit repayment” (line 46, Form 1040, or line 29, Form 1040A) or the line for “net premium tax credit” (line 69, Form 1040, or line 45, Form 1040A).
NOTE:
If you originally filed a Form 1040EZ tax return, you must transfer the information from your Form 1040EZ to a Form 1040A and include it with your response.
Form 1040EZ does not have the designated lines needed to carry forward amounts from a Form 8962.
• You should have received a Form 1095-A from your Marketplace on or before January 31, 2016.
If you didn’t receive your Form 1095-A, log in to your HealthCare.gov or state Marketplace account or contact your Marketplace directly.
The IRS cannot answer questions about the information on your Form 1095-A, reissue missing/lost forms, or issue a corrected form.
• Do not file a Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. After we receive the requested information, we’ll use it to process your original tax return.
• If you’re entitled to a refund after reconciling your advance payments, we’ll send your refund about 6-8 weeks after we receive all of the necessary information.
How to respond
Your Letter 0012C provides a fax number, if you want to send the information by fax. If you prefer to mail your response, send the information to the address listed at the beginning of the letter.
Also, include a copy of the letter with your response.
You may want to:
• Visit www.irs.gov/aca for more information about filing a tax return with Form 8962.
• Call IRS at 1-866-682-7451, extension 568, if you have additional questions.

What is a IRS Tax Levy?
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
Levies are different from liens.
A lien is a legal claim against property to secure payment of the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
Where does Internal Revenue Service (IRS) authority to levy originate?
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes levies to collect delinquent tax. See IRC 6331. Any property or right to property that belongs to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien can be levied, unless the IRC exempts the property from levy.
What actions must the Internal Revenue Service take before a IRS tax levy can be issued?
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
1• The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
2• You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
3• The IRS sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice) at least 30 days before the levy.
The IRS may give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Please note: if the IRS levies your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
When will the IRS issue IRS tax bank levy garnishment?
If you do not pay your taxes (or make arrangements to settle your debt), and the IRS determines that a levy is the next appropriate action, the IRS may levy any property or right to property you own or have an interest in.
For instance, the IRS could levy property that is yours, but is held by someone else (such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions).
The Filing of Back Tax Returns will be necessary.
If you need to file any tax returns we can prepare your return with or without records. Being Former IRS agents we know the system.
Call us today for a free initial tax consultation and learn the truth about getting your money back immediately. Since 1982 we have been resolving tax problems on a nationwide basis. call us today at hear the truth.
