No, you don't need the 1095-C.   If you did not have Mass Health, you need to answer NO to that question - otherwise, you will be prompted for a 1099-HC from MA.   

 

1095-C and 1099-HC are not interchangeable.   The first is for employer-based insurance and the 2nd is for Obamacare.   Only Obamacare gets reported on your tax return.   

 

When you did the federal return, did you answer NO to the 1095-A question?   That is the Obamacare question.   If you answered YES, go back and answer NO and delete the 1095-A and Form 8962.   Instructions below.    Go back through the MA return and answer NO to the Mass Health question.   If you have employer based insurance, don't enter your 1095-C, keep it with your tax records.

You may have to delete the 1099-HC.  Once cleated you won't be asked for it.  

As @DawnC said, the 1095-C is an information copy and should be kept with your other tax information, but it does not have to be posted to your tax return.

 

To delete the 1099-HC

 

On the menu bar on the left.

                 

  1. Select Tax Tools
  2. On the drop-down select Tools
  3. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form
  4. This will give you all of the forms in your return
  5. Scroll down to the form you want to delete
  6. Select the Form 1099-HC
  7. Click on Delete.
  8. Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.
