Tax Form 1095-C
Form 1095-C for 2024 health plan enrollment will be available in CIS on or before March 3, 2025. This form is not necessary for your 2024 tax filing.
The Affordable Care Act ("ACA" also known as Health Care Reform), requires that all individuals be enrolled in health coverage.
Form 1095-C is a tax document that employers provide to employees to outline details about the health insurance coverage offered to them during the tax year. This form is a requirement under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and is used to help you, as an employee, report your health insurance information when filing your taxes.
Key Information on Form 1095-C:
Employer Information: Details about your employer, such as name and contact information.
Employee Information: Your personal details, such as name and Social Security Number, to match the form with your tax records.
Coverage Offered: Information about the health insurance offered to you, including whether it met the ACA’s standards for affordability and minimum value.
Coverage Periods: Specifies the months during which you were eligible for coverage and enrolled in coverage (if you were enrolled).
Why Do You Need It?
For Your Records: The form is a reference to confirm you were offered coverage or enrolled in health insurance during the year.
Tax Filing: While you do not need to attach Form 1095-C to your tax return, it provides details that can help you complete your tax filing accurately.
Compliance: The IRS uses this information to verify compliance with ACA rules for both you and your employer.
