Tax Forms Coming Your Way

/

County employees will receive important 1095 tax filing forms in the mail that serve as proof of health insurance, as required under current IRS guidelines.

What You Need to Know

When filing 2016 taxes, you will need to indicate whether you had minimum essential coverage, as defined and required by the Affordable Care Act, during the year. By March 2, 2017, you will receive:
  • Form 1095-C from the County if you worked full time (30 or more hours per week) for at least one month in 2016. 
  • Form 1095-B directly from the insurance provider if you elected medical coverage through the County or through a spouse’s employer.
What You Need to Do

Upon receiving the form, you should:
  • Keep it for your records 
  • Use it as a reference when completing your 2016 taxes.

Do not send Form 1095-B or 1095-C to the IRS with your tax return. A copy of each form will be sent to the IRS by the County and your insurance provider.

You can file your federal taxes before receiving these 1095 forms.
