I just received form 1095-b in the mail, and I was wondering since I already filed my taxes and it says on the paper "Do not attach to your tax return". Am I in the clear

If I answered that I recieved health coverage before I got the documents from my 1095-b should I be fine?

You do not have to file Form 1095-B with the IRS - there is no filing requirement for this particular form - just retain it for your records.

Please note that not all 1095 tax forms get reported to the IRS:

  • Only the 1095-A gets entered into TurboTax in the Health Insurance section
  • If you receive a Form 1095-B, entitled “Health Coverage”, the IRS does not need any details from this form, you can just retain for your records any 1095-B forms received from your health insurance company or government agency that sponsors your plan
  • If you have a 1095-C, a form entitled “Employer Provided Health insurance Offer and Coverage”, the IRS does not need any details from this form either.  You can keep any 1095-C forms which you receive from your employer, for your records.
