What is an Excess advance premium tax credit repayment?

Excess advance premium tax credit repayment is the tax liability triggered when a taxpayer's actual annual income exceeds the estimate used to calculate advance marketplace health insurance subsidies paid throughout the year. Under Section 71305 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, repayment caps previously limiting amounts owed to $375-$3,250 are eliminated for tax years after December 31, 2025, requiring the full refund of all overpayments. Filing IRS Form 8962 with Form 1040 is required. Health savings account contributions reduce MAGI and minimize repayment exposure.
