Answer:

$8,033

Explanation:

The premium tax credit is a refundable tax credit given to qualifying families or individuals that purchase health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. In order to qualify for the premium tax credit a family or individual must have low or moderate income. The lower your income the larger the tax credit.

The tax credit is calculated using the cost of the silver plan available through the Health Insurance Marketplace and subtracting a percentage of the taxpayer's income.

The Rivers' premium tax credit = $9,800 - $1,767 = $8,033
