Here are a few examples of how Advanced Premium Tax Credits (subsidies) work ...   Example 1: Single individual, 45040 zip code, 60 years old, self-employed, gross income is $60,000 but after write offs and expenses, Adjusted Gross Income (line 37 of tax return) was $32,000. Based on Adjusted Gross Income income of $32,000, this individual would qualify for an advanced tax credit of $269.76 per month.
