  1. Hey, saw your post on ProbeGT's thread. I don't think anything has changed since he posted, you should be good with the $0 income stuff.

     

    I also have a similar thread for people over 65, that might come in handy some day, enjoy!

     

     

  2. Hi, this sounds bogus. Maybe you talked to someone who doesn't understand the rules completely? Or, if you tried the application online, healthcare.gov sometimes sends you down the wrong path which screws up the subsidy estimate. In that case, just call and talk to someone at healthcare.gov on the phone, and explain your MIL's situation. Your MIL should get almost the same tax subsidy as last year, if not more. She remains ineligible for Medicaid for her first 5 years on GC (except in CA,) so there should be no change in subsidy/PTC beyond some minimal fluctuation in the insurance premium itself (certainly not zero subsidy.) Please message me if you need help. All the best!
  3. I thought I was trying to help you and your family? I'm not sure how this turned into a federal case about how my parents should file their taxes. So why don't we keep the focus on your parents and their situation. Sounds like you might have the taxes part figured out already. In any case, like I said in my previous post, I can only share what I know about issues related to Obamacare enrollment. For expert advice on your parents' specific tax situation, please consult an accountant / CPA.
  4. Repeat with me: "PTC or any Obamacare subsidy does NOT constitute a public charge under ANY circumstances". When you're done saying it once, repeat it again just to make sure you do get it =P Don't worry about public charge, the USCIS and/or healthcare.gov both specifically state it will not be considered a public charge. Check out the sister thread below, I have shared a link somewhere in it that specifically addresses the public charge issue.
  5. If your parents have foreign pension, where do they pay taxes? If they pay taxes in their home country, I don't think it necessarily needs to be reported as income here. At most, they might need to report the pension as income + report the taxes paid in the foreign country, I don't remember which specific one. You should talk to a tax accountant about this. I can help with Obamacare, I am not an expert on taxes!
