New Tax Forms Coming Your Way

Many County employees can expect a special delivery to their home mailbox early next year: important new tax filing forms. These documents may be needed to file your 2015 income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service.

Information on the forms is used by the IRS to administer the Affordable Care Act, the federal health care law. The forms also serve as proof of compliance with the law for both employees and employers.

What You Need to Know

You may receive one or more of three new tax forms around the same time you receive your Form W-2.

You will receive a Form 1095-C from the County if you worked full time (30 or more hours per week for at least one month in 2015).

In addition, if you elected medical coverage, either through the County, through a spouse’s employer, or on your own, you will receive Form 1095-B directly from the insurance carrier.

These forms will be mailed no later than Feb. 1, 2016.

Why This Is Important

Whether you do your own taxes or have the help of a CPA, these forms may be needed to file your 2015 income taxes. Please save them and have them ready.
