How To Claim the Credit
⚠️ Before You Begin
The credit has specific limits. It:
- Cannot be claimed if the employer has no taxable income or AMT liability for the year.
- Cannot reduce employment taxes (i.e., withheld income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax).
📊 How To Claim the Credit
Step 1: Eligible employers claim the credit on their annual income tax return
Use this when you are an eligible employer.
Eligible employers claim the tax credit on the employers annual income tax return, with an attached Form 8941, Credit for Small Employer Health Insurance Premiums, showing the calculation of the credit.
Step 2: Tax-exempt employers claim the credit using Form 990-T
Use this when you are a tax-exempt employer.
A tax-exempt employer claims the credit by filing Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return, with an attached Form 8941 showing the calculation of the claimed credit.
Step 3: Understand carryback/carryforward rules
Use this to determine how unused credits can be applied.
Any unused 2010 credit can be carried back five years or forward up to 20 years. For other years, normal carryback and carry forward rules apply.
