Simply Healthcare 1095 Form
Charise Scrivner
If you purchased health care insurance through the Marketplace, you should receive a Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, at the beginning of the tax filing season. The information shown on Form 1095-A helps you complete your federal individual income tax return. If Form 1095-A shows coverage for you and everyone in your family for the entire year, check the full-year coverage box on your tax return. Among other things, Form 1095-A reports the total monthly health insurance premiums paid to the insurance company you selected through the Marketplace. It lists the amount of premium assistance you received in the form of advance payments of the premium tax credit that were paid directly to your insurance company, if any. If you received a Form 1095-A with incorrect information, see our Corrected, Incorrect or Voided Forms 1095-A questions and answers to find out how it affects your taxes.
The IRS reminds taxpayers who received advance payments of the premium tax credit that they should file their tax return timely to ensure they can receive advance payments next year from their Marketplace.
If advance payments of the premium tax credit were paid on behalf of you or an individual in your family, and you do not file a tax return reconciling those payments, you will not be eligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit or cost-sharing reductions to help pay for your Marketplace health insurance coverage in the next year. This means you will be responsible for the full cost of your monthly premiums and all covered services. In addition, we may contact you to pay back some or all of the advance payments of the premium tax credit.
Marketplaces will determine eligibility for advance tax credit payments and cost-sharing reductions for the coverage year in the fall before the new coverage year starts. You will substantially increase your chances of avoiding a gap in receiving this help if you electronically file your tax return with Form 8962 by the due date of your return.
If you have a question about the information shown on your Form 1095-A, or about receiving Form 1095-A, or about a letter you received, contact your Marketplace as shown in the table below or visit HealthCare.gov/taxes.
Each year the Health Insurance Marketplace has an open enrollment period and special enrollment periods for eligible taxpayers. For information about enrollment periods, visit HealthCare.gov or contact your state-based Marketplace.
To estimate the effect that changes in circumstances may have upon the amount of premium tax credit that you can claim - see the Premium Tax Credit Change Estimator on our Affordable Care Act Estimator Tools page.
The Small Business Health Options Program Marketplace - also known simply as SHOP - helps small businesses provide health coverage to their employees. While the SHOP Marketplace was previously only open to employers with 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees, starting in 2016, some states may make the SHOP Marketplace available to businesses with up to 100 employees. If you have more than 50 employees and don't know if you can use the SHOP Marketplace, contact your state Department of Insurance or the SHOP Call Center.
There are three different forms that are used by exchanges, employers, and health insurance companies to report health insurance coverage to the IRS, although some health plans no longer send these forms, as described below. And there are two health insurance-related forms that some tax filers need to complete when they file their return.
Your 1095-A should be available online through your exchange/Marketplace account in January, and the exchange should also send it to you by early-mid February (by email, regular mail, or both, depending on the preference you indicated when you enrolled). If delivery of your 1095-A is delayed or the information on it is incorrect, you can contact your exchange.
If you receive Form 1095-A and it has an error, you can contact the Marketplace to ask it to issue a corrected form. You might see an error if, for example, you switched plans mid-year, only had Marketplace coverage for part of the year, or adjusted your subsidy amount mid-year.
How do I get Form 1095-B?This form is mailed to the IRS and to the insured member by health insurance carriers, government-sponsored plans such as Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP, and self-insured small employers. But you may have to request Form 1095-B if you want it, as it may not be sent to you automatically the way it was in the past.
If you had health insurance sponsored by a small business and obtained through a SHOP exchange, you will not receive any Form 1095 from the exchange (in most states, the exchange no longer facilitates small group enrollment, but some states do; even in those states, the exchange does not send any Form 1095 for small group enrollees).

A 1095B tax form (see above), which lets the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) know whether your child(ren) had health care coverage from Florida KidCare, was previously mailed to families enrolled in one of the Florida KidCare programs (Healthy Kids, MediKids, Children's Medical Services and/or Medicaid). This tax form lists each child who had coverage and the months the child was insured.
Starting with the 2020 calendar year, Florida KidCare families were not mailed a printed 1095B tax form. This information is still required to be reported to the IRS on any individual who qualifies for health care coverage under the Florida KidCare program.
If anyone in your household was enrolled in a Florida KidCare program in any part of the previous calendar year, then the IRS was sent their health coverage information. There is no action needed on the part of a parent and the form is not required to file your federal taxes.

The new health care law that began in 2010 called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires all US citizens to be enrolled in health care coverage that provides minimum essential coverage (MEC). If you will file an income tax return, you will be asked to confirm whether you had heath care coverage for any part of the year. The 1095-B form will have the information you need to answer this question. Each person that was enrolled in a State of Michigan MEC health care program will be sent a 1095-B form.
The State of Michigan must have the1095-B form postmarked to you no later than January 31st of each year. For the 2015 tax year only, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) extended this date to March 31, 2016. When you get the form, DO NOT THROW IT AWAY. When filing your income tax return, you can use this form to answer questions about which months of the tax year you had MEC. If you have more questions about how this form is used when filing your income tax return, you should talk to a professional tax preparer or read the questions and answers from the IRS about the 1095-B tax form. Visit the IRS website to find free and low cost resources for help with income tax return preparation.
If you lost your form, log-on to the myHealthPortal application at www.michigan.gov/myhealthportal to reprint your tax form (for current beneficiaries only). Or you can also call the Beneficiary Help Line at 1-800-642-3195 to have another one mailed to you.
This is the tax form which shows every month of the year when you and your family members had a qualified health plan (QHP) with Vermont Health Connect (VHC). It also reflects the premium costs, and any advance premium tax credits (APTC) you got. VHC sends you and the Internal Revenue Service Form 1095-A to report your health insurance for the tax year.
You can also view the 1095-A on your account. Once you have logged in, click the My Messages tab. Next, click the View Other Documents link and a list of documents will appear. Your 1095-A should be listed there.
Life events include getting married, having a baby, becoming a U.S. citizen, adopting a child and other changes to your household size or income. Vermont Health Connect customers should report life changes within 30 days. By doing this, you will make sure you get the right amount of financial help and avoid owing money at tax time.
You can report changes like your address, number of household members and income when you file your taxes. You do not need a corrected Form 1095-A. Likewise, changes to your tax household such as divorce and income do not require a corrected form. However, you still need to report changes to Vermont Health Connect to get the right coverage and financial help in the following year.
