About Form 1095-A

The Health Insurance Marketplaces issue Form 1095-A to the IRS and to individuals who were enrolled in a qualified health plan through a Health Insurance Marketplace.
Form 1095-A allows individuals to take the Premium Tax Credit (PTC), reconcile advance payments of the PTC, and file their tax returns accurately.
Taxpayers who enroll in a Health Insurance Marketplace plan agree to file a tax return if receiving advance PTC, regardless of income, in order to reconcile their Premium Tax Credit.
Failure to claim Form 1095-A when an individual on the return is enrolled in a Health Insurance Marketplace plan, will result in the return being rejected, or a letter being issued after filing indicating that the 1095-A must be included on the tax return.
Form 1095-A will be mailed to the taxpayers address on file with the Marketplace. Form 1095-A is also available in the taxpayers online Marketplace account.
Taxpayers who have questions about the amounts on their Form 1095-A should contact their individual Marketplace.
