This means that if you had non-Marketplace health insurance during the 2015 tax year, these new forms will be for informational purposes only and you\u2019re not required to send in proof of health care coverage to the IRS. However, you should keep these documents with your other records. Other documentation serving as proof of coverage includes insurance cards, explanation of benefits\u2019 statements from your insurer and W-2 or payroll statements reflecting health insurance deductions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">If you changed jobs or your benefit plan during the year, or added or dropped dependents from your coverage, you should verify that the forms indicate you and any dependents you claim had coverage for the entire year, or make a note about any gaps in coverage that occurred. Be sure to check the forms for accuracy. When you receive both of these documents, Form 1095-B from a provider, and Form 1095-C from a large employer, you may be confused, but the information on these documents should be consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">If you purchased health insurance in the <\/span><b>Health Insurance Marketplace<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">, you will still report health insurance information from <\/span><b>Form 1095-A<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> like last tax season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Form 1095-B, Health Coverage Statement<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Issued by a government-sponsored program (such as Medicare), eligible employer-sponsored plan, individual market plan or miscellaneous coverage plan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Provides information about whether the taxpayer, spouse and dependents had qualifying health coverage (minimum essential coverage) for some or all months during the year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Individuals with minimum essential coverage are not subject to the individual shared responsibility payment (ACA penalty).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Form 1095-C, Employer Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage Statement<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Employers with 50 or more full-time employees are required to file Form 1095-C with the employee and IRS.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Includes information about whether the employer offered qualifying health coverage to an employee, spouse and dependents for some or all months during the year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Form 1095-C is used to determine whether the employer shared responsibility provision applies, whether individual shared responsibility payment applies, and eligibility of employees for premium tax credit.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016 marks the second year that Americans are required to report their health insurance status on their tax return under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
