If you use advance payments of the premium tax credit (APTC) to reduce the cost of your Marketplace premiums, you must file a tax return to report these payments, even if you don't usually file taxes. When you (and the tax filers on your application) file your federal income tax returns, you must "reconcile" any premium tax credits that you used during the year.
You may have to file an amended federal income tax return. This means you’ll have to file a corrected version of your return with the IRS.
