FAQ: 2024 Form 1095
Form 1095 is an IRS document that provides information about your health insurance coverage for the 2024 tax year. It serves to confirm whether you, your spouse, and dependents had health coverage during the year, as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Form 1095 is used to determine eligibility for the Premium Tax Credit and to reconcile any advance credit payments received.
There are three variations of Form 1095:
- Form 1095-A: Issued by the Health Insurance Marketplace.
- Form 1095-B: Issued by insurance providers for Medicaid, Medicare, or other coverage.
- Form 1095-C: Issued by large employers offering health insurance.
Taxpayers typically do not file Form 1095 themselves. Instead:
- Form 1095-A is sent to individuals who purchased health insurance through the Marketplace.
- Form 1095-B is sent to individuals covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurers.
