My taxpayer received IRS letter 5591 or 5596. What are these letters about?
Some of your clients may receive IRS letter 5591 or 5596. Both letters encourage the taxpayer to file a return with Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit (PTC), as soon as possible.
- Letter 5596 is directed to taxpayers who received the Advance Premium Tax Credit and filed an extension, but have not yet filed a return containing Form 8962 to reconcile advance payments of the Premium Tax Credit.
Information about how the taxpayer should respond is available from the IRS at The Health Care Law and You.
