Yeah. But I think I'm entitled...from what I estimate now....but I can't prove it. They want me to prove a future prediction (and asked for information.)
WTHeck?
something doesn't seem right - maybe utilize one of those navigators?
On the NY exchange, there is a question along the way that wants to know if 2014 income will be similar to 2012 (yes, 2012). I, of course, said "no".
There is then a series of questions about projected 2014 income. They followed the 1040 form pretty much re: all sources of income (taxable interest, capital gains, state refunds, etc etc etc etc etc). I just put in the
applicable-in-2014 numbers from 2012, and used capital gains making up any difference to make the total exactly 16K.
They asked for no proof at all along the way. They HAVE proof because they DO have access to your 2012 information. Job income, unemployment income, and all the rest. But since I said "no" to "will 2014 be similar to 2012", it seemed to satisfy the system.
If you do the $16K thing, you will be eligible for "cost sharing"... and you NEED TO GO WITH SILVER to get ANY cost-sharing benefits.
