1 Tax Implications of Health Care Reform Presented by: Art Sparks, CPA Partner Certified Public Accountants
2 Summary
3 Summary The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the companion Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA) are designed to effectuate fundamental reforms to the U.S. health care system. Basically, almost all individuals not covered by Medicaid or Medicare will be required to obtain health care coverage or pay penalties. Employer plans will generally satisfy the universal coverage requirement.
4 Summary Lower-income individuals would generally receive a credit or voucher to help pay for health insurance, which can be used at one of the American Health Benefits Exchanges that are required to be established by every state. Employers electing not to offer qualifying coverage would be subject to an additional tax to help finance the health care coverage for their employees. Pursuant to PPACA, the IRS is responsible for overseeing a significant part of the health care reform.
5 An Overview Primary thrust of PPACA and HCERA is health insurance reform. However, tax law change is a major component. First Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provides carrots to individuals and businesses in the form of tax breaks. Second IRC provides sticks in the form of penalties on individuals and businesses that do not obtain or provide health coverage for themselves or their businesses. Third IRC is used to raise revenue to help pay for the overall cost of health insurance reform. Fourth IRC places many filing requirements on health insurance providers. Fifth Burdens placed on the IRS to help enforce the components of this legislation.
6 Health Care Individual Mandates Failure to carry health insurance Beginning in 2014, individuals must make a shared responsibility payment if they do not have health insurance for themselves and their dependents. Premium assistance credit Beginning in 2014, taxpayers with household income between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty line can qualify for a refundable health insurance premium assistance credit. Medical deduction threshold For tax years beginning after 12/31/12, the threshold for the itemized deduction of unreimbursed medical expenses is increased from 7.5% of AGI to 10% of AGI. Exception persons over the age of 65 through 12/31/16.
7 Health Care Individual Mandates Over-the-counter medicines Qualified medical expenses for purposes of the rules on HSAs, Archer MSAs, health FSAs and HRAs no longer include over-the-counter medicines and drugs. HSA and MSA distributions The additional tax on distributions not used for qualified medical expenses is increased to 20% effective for distributions made after December 31, Additional health insurance tax For tax years beginning after 12/31/12, individuals are subject to an additional hospital insurance tax on wages and self-employment income in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of joint returns) of.9%.
8 Health Care Individual Mandates Medicare tax on investment income For tax years beginning after 12/31/12, a 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on a portion of the net investment income of individuals, estates and trusts.
9 Health Care Business Mandates Large employers responsibility for health coverage For months beginning after 12/31/13, large employers who fail to comply with requirements concerning health coverage for full-time employers are subject to a penalty tax.

10 Health Care Business Mandates Health FSAs offered through cafeteria plans For tax years beginning after 12/31/12 health FSAs offered as part of a cafeteria plan must limit contributions through salary reductions to $2,500. Simple cafeteria plans Certain small employers may choose to provide a simple cafeteria plan for their employees, under which the nondiscrimination rules of a classic cafeteria plan are treated as satisfied.
11 Health Care Business Mandates Economic substance doctrine The common-law economic substance doctrine has been codified. A transaction has economic substance only if 1) the transaction changes in a meaningful way the taxpayer s economic position, and 2) the taxpayer has a substantial business purpose for the transaction. A 20% penalty applies if transaction fails this test; 40% for undisclosed transactions. Effective now.

The obligation to withhold the additional tax is only imposed on the employer if the employee receives wages from the employer in excess of $200,000.
