C–131.5 IRS Monthly Income Thresholds
Revision 26-2; Effective April 1, 2026
Each year, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) establishes income thresholds for earned and unearned income. People whose earned, unearned or combined income exceeds the federal income tax filing threshold must file a federal income tax return under federal law. Use the IRS monthly income thresholds to determine if a person’s income must be counted when calculating Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) financial eligibility. This is explained under Medical Programs, Step 3, in A-1341, Income Limits and Eligibility Tests.
Determine if a person must file a federal income tax return by comparing the specified income types to the IRS thresholds in the following table.
| Type of Income | 2026 Threshold | Apply Threshold Value in Form H1042, Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) Worksheet: Medicaid and CHIP |
|---|---|---|
| Unearned Income | $112.50 |
|
| Earned Income | $1,312.50 | Page 4-6, Step 3, Part 8 |
