According to recent research of the Urban Institute, which was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, more than 74 percent of uninsured consumers who qualify for insurance affordability programs under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) file federal income tax returns. This includes over 90 percent of consumers under age 35 who are eligible for subsidies to pay for qualified health plans (QHPs). Tax preparers are a promising source of application assistance for these uninsured.
