To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to take certain Medicare premiums of household members into account in determining the health care insurance premiums tax credit.
Summary

Households can elect to account for Medicare premiums paid for Parts A, B, C, or D coverage and Medicare supplemental policies when calculating their health insurance tax credit, as long as these premiums are not reimbursed by another source. The change applies to coverage months beginning after December 31, 2025. This provision allows households to factor in Medicare costs when determining their eligibility for or amount of health insurance premium tax credits.
