The individual shared responsibility provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires you, your spouse, and your dependents to have qualifying health insurance for the entire year, report a health coverage exemption. (The fee was reduced to zero starting in 2019.) You may receive one or more of the following tax forms to help you prepare your federal taxes, which describe your health coverage throughout the tax year: Form 1095-A, Form 1095-B, and Form 1095-C.
Form 1095-C verifies if full-time employees were made an offer of health coverage by their employer that met federal standards of affordability and minimum value. Form 1095-C also reports enrollment in an employer’s self-insured health plan (e.g. Uniform Medical Plan).
You may receive multiple 1095 forms depending on you and your family members’ coverage in 2023. For example:
No. The 1095 forms do not need to be filed with your tax return. Contact your tax professional or the IRS if you have questions. More information can also be found at Affordable Care Act Tax Provisions for Individuals and Families.
Form 1095 is treated similarly to the W-2’s that employees receive every year from their employer. Federal law requires that both you and the IRS receive a copy of Form 1095.
When you receive your Form 1095, please take a few minutes to verify that the information is accurate. Contact the number listed on Line 10 of Form 1095-C or Line 18 of Form 1095-B to report any errors.
Remember! You don’t need the Form 1095-B or 1095-C to file your tax return. Learn more at Affordable Care Act Tax Provisions for Individuals and Families.

Employers are required to furnish Form 1095-B and Form 1095-C to the employee (subscriber) only. Form 1095-C form includes information about coverage, if any, your employer offered to you, your spouse and dependents. Form 1095-B and Form 1095-C each include information showing that you, and any individuals enrolled under your coverage, had qualifying health coverage (referred to as “minimum essential coverage”) for some or all months during the year. The IRS expects you to provide a copy of the form to any of your covered dependents, if they request it for their records.
