obamacare & income defintion
Hello,
Regarding obamacare & income calculations.
Am I correct that qualified Roth distributions are not considered income when qualifying for health insurance assistance, but social security benefits are ?
Thanks,
Frank

Adjusted gross income INCREASED BY foreign income exclusion, tax exempt interest and portion of SS benefits not already included in AGI

Assuming the above definition is correct, the answer to the original poster’s question is that a qualified Roth distribution would not count, and the portion of SS benefits not included in AGI would not count. The portion of SS that must be included in AGI would count and this is affected by the amount of other income reported on the return.
