Do you qualify for the credit for small employer health insurance premiums?

For 2026, if you obtain coverage through the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace and pay at least half of the premiums for employees, check whether you can claim a 50% federal tax credit for these payments. You must have fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) with annual wages for the year of less than $69,000 per FTE. Check the draft of the instructions to Form 8941 for details. #IdeaoftheDay
