I've had at least three conversations with the nice ACA people this year about Freelance Income. I can't be the only freelancer in the country, and yet. . .if it doesn't fit in the form, they can't cope.
For this year's insurance, I did the "average-the-last-five-years-income" thing. They did bend that far, in terms of the form. But for next year, now that we have a "firm figure" for income (cue laugh track), they want a real number.
It's looking like I'm going to have to spend the entire four weeks of Open Enrollment on the phone. And my feelings regarding phones are very similar to your own.
