You can deduct some expenses from your income on your Marketplace application.
FYI
The Marketplace uses only some deductions to determine the coverage and savings you're eligible for.
- We ask you to enter only the deductions the Marketplace uses.
- Don't enter any deductions you’re not asked about, like mortgage interest or charitable gifts.
