No, no you can’t. Medical expenses are a deduction not a credit. They can reduce the taxes you owe. They can’t generate a refund from paying no taxes.

It doesn’t matter at all whether or not she reported an income change during the year. Regardless of what was reported or not reported, a premium tax reconciliation has to take place. If she received more premium tax in advance than her final income qualifies her for, she has to pay it back. There are limits and safe harbors in the tax code so she might not have to pay it all back. But what income change was reported to the marketplace is completely irrelevant to what premium tax calculation being done by the IRS and there is not a way to challenge it.

Big national touring acts come through soundstage mainly, they’ve got lots of good shows coming up. Death to All/Suffocation, Carcass, Enslaved, Hell in the Harbor festival.

Smaller national touring acts mainly play at Metro Gallery and Ottobar. Ottobar has Dead Congregation coming up, Metro has Hari Kari for the sky.

Local bands will open at those shows and Metro and Ottobar both have local only shows sometimes. Close to Metro is Club Depot. They’ve got local shows…doom is real big in MD and probably the most common but death and thrash/traditional shows too. Holy Frijoles in Hampden has random shows…usually local but they had Early Moods a couple weeks ago. Theh only get posted on instagram. Dive bar called Shamrock Inn has random metal shows too, they only get posted on their Facebook.
