In this episode you will learn:
- The Small Business Health Care Tax Credit requires fewer than 25 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employees, which is based on total hours worked, not a simple headcount.
- Eligibility requires average annual wages below an inflation-adjusted threshold and that the health insurance be purchased through a SHOP Marketplace.
- The maximum credit is 50% of premiums paid (35% for non-profits), but this amount phases out as employee count and average wages increase.
- A critical exam trap is the two-consecutive-year limit for claiming the credit, which begins the first year it is taken.
- The employer's deduction for health insurance premiums must be reduced by the dollar amount of the credit claimed.
