You don't have to enter Form 1095-C into your TurboTax program or attach it to your Form. This form is for informational purposes only. You just have to keep it in your own records. It documents that your employer has offered you health insurance, as required by the Affordable Care Act. The federal penalty for not having health insurance was eliminated starting in 2019.
Some states (California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, D.C) still require residents to have health insurance or pay a state tax penalty. So if you are in one of those states, you may answer a question asking if you have qualifying health insurance for the entire year.
The only Form 1095 that you have to enter in TurboTax is a Form 1095-A which is for Marketplace health insurance. TurboTax will ask you if you received a Form 1095-A and you will answer No there if you had no Marketplace insurance and you received a Form 1095-C.
To get to those screens in TurboTax to check your answers, you can:
- Click on Search at the top right of your TurboTax screen
- Type health insurance in the search box and enter
- Click on the link that says Jump to health insurance
- Your screen will say Do you need to report any 1095-A's
