2. The premium subsidy and cost-saving subsidy (if any), are figured from the income amount you put in

I seem to recollect that they were supposed to let it go through as long as the estimated income was no more than 10% less than the prior year's.

If your income is highly variable and you really don't have a good estimate, I would suggest talking to the call center about your options.

If you do do that, would you mind reporting back about what their suggestions were?
