To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend certain provisions of the health insurance premium tax credit using tariff revenue.
Summary
This bill extends health insurance premium tax credits that were set to expire, allowing people whose household income exceeds 400 percent of the poverty line to continue receiving the credits. The extension is funded by tariff revenue collected by the federal government. The credits will remain available until the cost of extending them equals the amount of tariff revenue collected after January 19, 2025. The Secretary of the Treasury must estimate this timeline using methods similar to those used by the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation. The changes apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
