Tax year 2026: Refundable tax credit key updates

Education credits:

  • The Working Families Tax Cuts Act enhanced the identification requirements to claim the American Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit. The taxpayer or their spouse (if married filing jointly) and the student (if the student is a dependent) must have a work-eligible Social Security number issued before the due date of the return (including extensions).

Premium Tax Credit: 

  • Taxpayers with a household income more than 400% of the federal poverty line are no longer eligible for the PTC. 
  • Taxpayers must repay the full amount of any excess advance payments of the Premium Tax Credit (APTC). The repayment limits that previously capped how much some taxpayers had to repay no longer apply.
