The tax rate for the HMO Premium Tax is 1% of gross premiums.
You must report HMO Premium Tax by March 1 for the prior calendar year. If you owed more than $500 for the last tax year, you must make quarterly estimated payments on March 15, June 15, Sept. 15 and Dec.15.
Each estimated payment must equal at least 25% of the prior year’s tax liability, or 20% of the current year’s tax liability.
- Electronically through e-Services, by debit or credit card, or by ACH credit
If you made a mistake on your original return, you can amend it to correct the error. To do so:
-
Complete a new return for the affected period. You must include both original and corrected premiums on the form (not just the new information).
-
Check the “Amended Return” box at the top of the form.
-
Include a cover letter that explains what was changed from your original filing and why you changed it.
You must file your amended return within 3 1/2 years from the due date of the original return. All amended returns are subject to audit.
Make sure to keep all supporting documentation from your original and/or amended return. That documentation must be available upon the department's request.
