When I finished it asked me to print/mail Form 8885. My employer paid for 100% of my health insurance costs for every month. How do I fill out the form? Thanks!

The HCTC or Health Coverage Tax Credit that is claimed on form 8885 is for a limited group of people that includes the following: 

An eligible trade adjustment assistance recipient, alternative TAA recipient, reemployment TAA recipient, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) pension payee, or a qualifying family member. 

If this did not apply to you, you may need to amend your return and check your answers for the healthcare section. 

If you do need to fill out the 8885, there's more information here:
