1095-C

[chrisq94960]

Filed my 2020 tax return and later that week received a 1095-C from work. I forgot I had signed up for anything as it was never used and I am on my parents insurance (I am 24). Will this affect my return at all as I do not think I checked off anything regarding receiving insurance from work? Unless I didn't receive any coverage from work since I only received a 1095-C.

A Form 1095-C is not entered on a tax return.  Keep a copy for your records.

I’m not sure if I checked off any boxes for receiving coverage from work if that’s even a step when filing. I didn’t use any of the benefits I may have had as I am still under my parents insurance @DoninGA

The only time a health insurance form would be entered on a federal tax return is if you had insurance or were covered under a parents plan where the insurance was through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges.  The Form would be 1095-A.

Please see this Turbo Tax FAQ for assistance. 

Do I need to enter my 1095-C?

I think I'm getting fined.

I have Covered California from July to Dec (1095-A Form), my previous employer sent me 1095-C for Jan to May but there is no where I can enter on Turbo Tax.

I heard if you don't have health insurance for 3 months you are fined. Funny that if I delete my 1095-A from my TurboTax my refund goes up by $1200

Form 1095-C is just for your records @Skippy742.

I received a 1095-C from my employer but I'm not able to find a form for 1095-c  to file

Can't you see the answers above?  You don't enter a 1095-C or 1095-B.  You only enter a 1095-A if you get one.

I did not receive a Form 1095-A, I have a 1095-C as I get my health Insurance through my employer.  Where do I note that on my tax return or more specifically in TT?

[DianeW777]

There is no requirement to indicate this on your tax return.  A Form 1095-C is not a required entry for your tax return.  

If you are receiving any errors in regards to the 1095-A you can use the steps below. to move forward.  You can try to enter $1 for the 1095.  This will not affect anything on your return, but having the form there may get the IRS to accept your return.  To do this take the following steps:

1. Click Deductions and Credits
2. Scroll down to Medical and Click Show More
3. Click Start or Revisit next to the ACA
4. As you walk through the questions, you will be asked if you received a 1095-A.  If you did NOT, click YES.
5. Enter 0's for the Marketplace identifier and Policy number.
6. Enter $1 for January monthly premium amount and SLCSP
7. Walk through to the end and submit your return.
