My employer tells me I have to file this form (1095c) with my 2015 taxes. If I don't file this form with my taxes they say I could be subject to fines and delayed tax return

[Edited] If you have a 1095-C, a form titled Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage the IRS does NOT need any details from this form. You can keep any 1095-C forms you get from your employer for your records.

When you come to the question “Did you have health insurance coverage in 2015”, simply select “Yes”.

When you come to the question "Were you enrolled in a plan from HealthCare.gov or another state's Marketplace in 2015?", select "No".

If you're covered through your job or have health insurance through the VA or Tricare, your plan isn't a marketplace plan, but it still counts as health care coverage.

Ok, so if its not required to file it with the taxes how do we file it? It says we are suppose to file it.

You file the information from the form by answering the appropriate questions within the filing process.

I just selected yes and clicked on SHOP or something for the insurance I had. Then just hold onto your 1095-C just In case. Really the 1095-C form is a joke.... I also have TriCare.

the 1095-C is mostly for your benefit; you DO NOT need it for filing your return, if you know all of your health insurance figures-just check the box on the Turbo Tax program and it will fill out your health insurance information for you.  Do not let it stress you trying to figure out the 1095-C, file it with 2015 tax info/receipts and keep it in a safe place.

The posts above for June 2019 will not apply to 2019. 

 

For 2019 you only need to enter a 1095A not a 1095 B or 1095 C

You don't enter a 1095-B or 1095-C on your tax return. You only enter a 1095-A if you get one.

A Form 1095-C is not entered on a tax return.  Just keep a copy for your records.
