Hi, My client’s tax accountant incorrectly filed his 2015 taxes without the Form 8962. She then re-filed an amended 2015 return with the Form 8962. Also his 2016 were filed correctly. His FPL is 210%. He lost his APTC in 2017 and have been trying for months to resolve this issue. According to the HC, the […]
Hi, A question from clients who are unmarried domestic partners with a child: They only received one 1095A and both of their names & premiums are on it. But they file taxes separately, since they’re unmarried. Is the 1095A correct, if so, how does the secondary person list the information on his tax return? If […]
So, I just did a conference call to the Health Connector Assister line. My client got terminated, turns out that the HC sent several letters to his residential address instead of his PO Box (mailing address). First, the CSR just stated why he was being terminated and was ready to hang up the phone. I […]
Hi, Many clients are being terminated, reason: “You did not cooperate with MassHealth’s Quality Assurance Unit”.

Hi, We have gotten several calls from clients who have gotten letters from MassHealth stating that coverage is ending because they never renewed. But we did renewals for them in the past 6 months. Just wondering if others are seeing this or if you know why this is happening. Thanks, Sarah

Hi, So Mom & Dad are divorced, they have 4 kids, 50/50 custody, each parent claims 2 kids on taxes. Mom has ESI for everyone including her ex-husband, as mandated by their divorce agreement.

Hi, I am working with a family of 4, including 2 disabled children. Their income is over 400% FPL and the have a QHP with a high deducible. They spend approx. $10,000/year on medical care for their children. I think they may be able to get secondary MassHealth with monthly premiums for their children. Am I right, […]
Hi, If someone with APTCs filed a 2015 tax return, but for whatever reason their APTCs were not reconciled on that tax return, is there any recourse or way of correcting this so they can still qualify for APTCs in 2017? Thanks!
