Question

What are Forms 1095-A, 1095-B, and 1095-C?

Answer

Form 1095-A is the reporting document for health insurance purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Each person who, at the time of enrollment, expected to file a tax return and enrolled in a qualified health plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace will receive Form 1095-A or a similar statement for each policy. In the tax application, use Screen 1095A in the Health Care folder to enter information from Form 1095-A or a similar statement. The tax application automatically calculates Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit (PTC). Use Screen PTC to enter any additional information that may be required for Form 8962.

Forms 1095-B and 1095-C are no longer required and no additional data entry is necessary.
