C—131.5 IRS Monthly Income Thresholds

Revision 24-2; Effective April 1, 2024

Each year, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) establishes income thresholds for earned and unearned income. The IRS expects people whose income, earned, unearned, or a combination, exceeds the federal income tax filing threshold, to file a federal income tax return under federal law. The IRS monthly income thresholds are used to determine if a person’s income must be counted when calculating Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) financial eligibility, as explained in A-1341, Income Limits and Eligibility Tests, for Medical Programs, Step 3.

Whether a person is required to file a federal income tax return is determined by comparing the specified income types to the IRS thresholds in the following table.

Type of Income	2024 Threshold	Apply Threshold Value in Form H1042, Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) Worksheet: Medicaid and CHIP
Unearned Income	$104.17	Page 4-6, Step 3, Part 7 Page 4-6, Step 3, Part 9
Earned Income	$1,154.17	Page 4-6, Step 3, Part 8
