The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule providing for federal tax credits for health insurance purchased through federal exchanges, while the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld the same IRS rule. If en banc review in the appeals courts does not resolve the circuit split, the matter likely will go to the Supreme Court of the United States for review. Tax subsidies under the IRS rule should remain available until such review, which is not expected before June 2015.
