How to use Form 1095-A
If anyone in your household had a Marketplace plan in 2020, you should get Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace® Statement, by mail no later than mid-February. It may be available in your HealthCare.gov account as soon as mid-January.
IMPORTANT: You must have your 1095-A before you file.
Don’t file your taxes until you have an accurate 1095-A.
- Your 1095-A includes information about Marketplace plans anyone in your household had in 2020.
- It comes from the Marketplace, not the IRS.
- Keep your 1095-As with your important tax information, like W-2 forms and other records.

What’s on Form 1095-A and why you need it
- Your 1095-A contains information about Marketplace plans any member of your household had in 2020, including:
- Premiums paid
- Premium tax credits used
- A figure called “second lowest cost Silver plan” (SLCSP)
- You’ll use information from your 1095-A to fill out Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit (PDF, 110 KB). This is how you'll "reconcile" — find out if there's any difference between the premium tax credit you used and the amount you qualify for.
- If you had Marketplace coverage but didn't take advance payments of the premium tax credit.
- Learn more about the 1095-A from the IRS.
