Form 1095-A Shared Policy Allocation

Taxpayer and wife (MFJ) are recipients of Form 1095-A, with 3 nondependent children listed as covered individuals. Parents’ total income is is above the 400% federal poverty line, resulting in a huge tax bill due to excess advanced premium tax credit.

On the other hand, their nondependent children’s incomes are below the threshold. If 0% is allocated to parents’ return and 100% to child with the lowest income, the parents will not have to pay back any of the excess credit yet the kid will get a huge refund…Sounds like double-dipping, any advice is greatly appreciated!

I just want to add that all of them live together in same household. Form 8962 Part 1 line 3 asks for total household income but only income of that return flows to line.

Allocating is allowed, and yes - it can often saves a lot of repayment.

Search for some of @TaxGuyBill 's posts.  I'm surprised he hasn't already posted here (his bat phone must be broken).
