Get your taxes done using TurboTax

A form 1095-C is not reported on the tax return.  You will enter your 1095 form and then answer the questions about the months your employer provided insurance you could have had. You may have to repay any advance premium tax credit you received for the disqualifying months, which will be reconciled on your tax return.

 

A standard of minimum coverage that applies to job-based health plans. 

If your employer's plan meets this standard and is considered “affordable,” you won't qualify for a premium tax credit if you buy a Marketplace insurance plan instead.

 

Use the criteria below to enter only the months you did qualify for the market place insurance and the premium tax credit. Enter the advance premium tax credit for each month you show on your 1095-A (each month of the year likely). Do not enter months of insurance where you were allowed to use employer insurance (column A and B) even if you chose not use it.

 

Eligibility requirements for the premium tax credit

You must meet all of the following criteria to qualify for the premium tax credit:

  • You must get your health care coverage through the Marketplace
  • You can't be eligible for health care coverage through alternative options such as your employer or the government
  • Your income needs to fall within a certain range
  • Another person can't claim you as a dependent on their return
  • You must file a joint return if you're married
