No.  Health care insurance provided through healthcare.gov or one of the state marketplace exchanges is Only reported on a Form 1095-A.

You will need your 1095-A to prepare your tax return.

If you or anyone in your household enrolled in a health plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace in 2017, you’ll get Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement. You will get this form from the Marketplace, not the IRS.

If you have not received your Form 1095-A or you received an incorrect 1095-A, you should contact the Marketplace from which you received coverage. 


You do not need to mail unless the IRS has told you to mail in your 1095. If you have received a letter from the IRS, then mail the forms they are requesting to the particular address on the letter.

Form 1095-A -is an IRS form for individuals who enroll in a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Typically it is sent to individuals who had Marketplace coverage. MUST BE ENTERED IN TURBOTAX.

Form 1095-B forms are filed by insurers for: employers who use the SHOP, small self-funded groups, and individuals who get covered outside of the health insurance Marketplace. Does not need to entered in Turbotax.

Form 1095-C forms are filed by large employers. If they are self-funded, they just fill out all sections of 1095-C. If they are fully insured, they get a 1095-B from the insurer and fill out Sections I and II of 1095-C. Does not need to be entered in Turbotax. Keep for you records.
