To ensure compliance with the Affordable Care Act, every eligible individual should receive one of the following forms:

Impact on taxpayers

Forms 1095-B and 1095-C are not required to file a taxpayer's Individual Income Tax Return even though they are required to be distributed to the taxpayer and IRS.

  • Taxpayers who do not receive their Form 1095-B or 1095-C before they are ready to file their Individual Income Tax Return can use other information about their health insurance to complete and file the return.
  • Forms 1095-B and 1095-C or other documentation used to determine healthcare coverage should not be attached to the return but should be kept for your records.

If the taxpayer expects to receive Form 1095-A from the Marketplace, you should wait to file the taxpayer's Individual Income Tax Return until after Form 1095-A has been received.
