Issue Number: N-2017-16Inside This IssueNotice 2017-16 provides that under the authority granted to the Secretary by § 35(g)(11)(B), an HCTC election for a month in 2016 may be made at any time before the expiration of the 3-year statute of limitation under § 6511 for such year, including on an amended income tax return. This extension of time is provided because, prior to its expiration, the HCTC did not require an election and the Treasury Department and the IRS are concerned that eligible taxpayers may not be aware of the requirement to affirmatively elect the HCTC for coverage provided in 2016.
