Tax season is when some consumers learn they were fraudulently enrolled in an ACA plan or switched to a different one without their knowledge.

The rogue brokers who enrolled consumers sometimes misstated their income so they would qualify for the largest tax credits possible.

Tax problems can arise if those enrollments resulted in premium tax credits exceeding the amount the consumer should have received.

Congress must decide whether to extend premium tax credits that were enhanced during the covid pandemic.

Keeping them in place would add $335 billion to the deficit through 2034 .

Premiums could more than double in some states, including many GOP -led ones, including Texas , Mississippi , Utah , Wyoming , and West Virginia .
