File the proper forms to save with the premium tax credit
|
If you bought health insurance through the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace and qualified for discounts (premium tax credits) you need to report this on your taxes.
The premium tax credit (PTC) is a refundable credit that helps eligible individuals and families cover the premiums for their health insurance purchased through the Marketplace. Whether you accepted advanced payments or waited to apply the credits to your tax return, you must fill out and submit:
-- Form 8962, which is used to calculate the PTC and, if applicable, reconcile it with advance payment of the premium tax credit (APTC).
-- Form 1095-A, which is used to take the premium tax credit, reconcile the credit returns with the APTC, and file an accurate tax return. Consult your HealthCare.gov account or contact the Marketplace if a copy is not received by early February.
To figure out your premium tax credit or claim an affordability exemption, use the tax tools here.

MARKETPLACE NAVIGATORS
IN YOUR AREA
Enroll Wyoming is a grant-funded program. Even though our base of operations is in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Navigators are located statewide. Enroll Wyoming cares about our Wyoming neighbors' healthcare needs and wants to make sure that they can obtain a plan that is not only affordable but will work for themselves and their family.
Below are contact names, phone numbers or email addresses to reach one of the Navigators. Remember that Navigators do travel long distances and often have partners where they set up "shop" to make it more convenient for the consumer.
Let us know if your organization would like to have a Navigator set up a table. We love to accommodate all stakeholders to the best of our ability. Those in need of health insurance can call and set up an appointment. Translation services are available if consumers don't speak English.

Welcome
ABIGAIL PRATT
I am a Wyomingite, having been born and raised in Gillette. In true Wyomingite style, as an adolescent I worked at a local fast-food restaurant while attending school. Most winters in Gillette I spent volunteering with a local church to give food, clothes, and toys to families in need around the holiday season. Shortly after graduating from Campbell County High School, I moved to the Powell/Lovell area to attend Northwest College. Attending school, volunteering, and even working in service has shown me that I truly enjoy helping people.
As a Navigator at Enroll Wyoming, I am thrilled to be part of a team whose primary role is helping those in need. I hope to expand my knowledge of local and national resources to further assist those in rural and underserved communities. Access to health coverage and awareness of health coverage options are vital to keeping us Wyomingites healthy and living our lives to the fullest. Enroll Wyoming is a fantastic project with remarkable people, and I am beyond enthused to be part of this team - and their cause.

I am originally from the Wind River Indian reservation. Currently I am working remotely in the CMS.gov enterprise portal completing my requirements and optional web-based modules and working alongside Dasa, Lead Navigator, who I job shadowed last week in Laramie.
