Bill overview
The Dependent Income Exclusion Act of 2021 aims to make health insurance more affordable by allowing certain dependents to exclude their wages and self-employment income from household income calculations when determining eligibility for and the amount of the premium tax credit. Specifically, it excludes income from dependents under 18 or under 24 who are students, apprentices, or participating in job training programs. The exclusion is limited to 15% of the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income, and certain provisions apply to taxpayers in states that do not expand Medicaid. This change is intended to lower the income thresholds for accessing premium tax credits.
