Entering Form 1095-C in ProConnect Tax

For tax year 2019 and newer:

No federal 1095-C entry is needed since the Shared Responsibility Payment, or health coverage penalty, has been reduced to $0.

For states with health coverage requirements, the 1095-C data doesn't have to be entered into the program - but you can use it to help determine whether your client had health coverage throughout the year. See here for more information on entering minimum essential coverage for California returns.

Forms 1095-B and 1095-C are issued to taxpayers for information purposes only and aren't required to be entered in the return.

• Part III input is provided to conveniently calculate the Individual Shared Responsibility Payment penalty if some or all of the household members don't have full-year coverage.
• This input can also be made in the "Minimum Essential Coverage not Indicated Elsewhere" section, on the Health Coverage, Exemptions, and Miscellaneous screen. Only one entry is required.
• If all members of the household were covered all year, you can just enter a 1 for entire household covered for all months. No additional input is required.

To enter Form 1095-C:

1. Go to Input Return ⮕ Credits ⮕ Affordable Care Act Subsidy/Penalty (1095-A, B, C) to expand.
2. Select Form 1095-C - Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer & Coverage.
3. Complete the table for each covered individual:
   • First name, Last Name, and Social Security number are required
   • Enter a 1 in (d) 1=covered all 12 months, or scroll to the right and enter a 1 in each month that the individual was covered.
4. If your client received multiple 1095-C forms, select the plus sign at the top of the screen to add another form.
