Hello!
I signed up for ACA subsidies for 2022. I got a letter in the mail asking for proof of capital gains and proof of interest/dividends/etc. At the end of 2021, I harvested some capital gains to cap out a low tax bracket. If I had been getting ACA subsidies at the time, I would have harvested less, but I wasn't. Proving dividends/interest will be very easy. However, I am worried about how to prove my capital gains. I told them what I expected to make, and I fully expect that to be accurate, but proof is difficult since I basically just decide how much to trigger at the end of the year.
Has anyone gone through this? Any tips? I am NOT trying to hide anything, just wondering the best way to go about this to convince the ACA people that I am telling the truth.

You can provide an affidavit of income
"I, bw1123, declare that I expect to make $x in 2022."
You can include a 1099 from 2021 and state that things will be different in 2022 because you don't expect to realize capital gains or expect to realize fewer capital gains.

Ahhh OK. That makes a ton of sense. I will give that a try. Thanks so much for your help on this, and your articles have been invaluable through the years!
