If you have a 1095-C, that is for your records only. You do not need to report anything on your taxes in 2019. Follow these steps to remove the form and continue on your return:

  • Under the Federal menu from the left, choose Deductions & Credits
  • Expand the menu for Medical
  • Click Start/Revisit next to Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A)
  • The following screen will ask Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan? Answer No, I didn't receive Form 1095-A.
  • Click Continue.

This should eliminate the need for the form. You may also opt to delete a form. Follow these steps:

  1. Under the Tax Tools menu on the right, click on Tools
  2. Click on Delete a Form
  3. Scroll through the list until you find the associated form, click Delete
  4. Confirm that you choose to delete and continue

The main difference is one (Form 1095-B) is a federal form, while the other (Form 1099-HC is a Massachusetts form.  They both provide information about your health coverage.

Form 1095-B

  • This form provides information about your health coverage, including who was covered, and when the coverage was in effect. 
  • If Form 1095-B, Part IV, Column (d), shows coverage for you and everyone in your family for the entire year, you can simply check the full-year coverage box on your tax return.
  • If you did not have coverage for the entire year, use Form 1095-B, Part IV, Column (e), to determine the months when you or your family members had coverage. If there were months that you did not have coverage, you should determine if you qualify for an exemption from the requirement to have coverage. If not, you must make an individual shared responsibility payment.

Form 1099-HC

  • The 1099-HC form is a Massachusetts document which serves as proof of health insurance coverage for MA adult residents.  Every MA resident who has insurance will receive an annual 1099-HC form which is completed and provided by your insurance carrier. 
  • You do not need to file Form 1099-HC.The form is informational and should be used to complete a new Schedule HC form with your MA residential tax form. Schedule HC is now a required tax return attachment for all MA residents.
