The subscriber number(box 5) on my 1099-HC is in all numbers and the turbo tax program won't take it because it states, it should be alphanumeric. How can I bypass this?

Here are some suggestions:

  1. Contact your insurance company for the correct subscriber number, or
  2. In TurboTax, navigate to Form 1099-HC and enter your subscriber number from your insurance card to see if that works. 

Form 1099 HC is needed to complete your Massachusetts state tax return.

  • The 1099-HC form is a Massachusetts tax document which provides proof of health insurance coverage for Massachusetts residents.
  • Every Commonwealth of Massachusetts resident who has health insurance will receive a 1099-HC form. 
  • This form is provided by your health insurance carrier and not the GIC.
