I have a 1095 A from California and a 1095 B from the VA, both for the full year. Which do I file?

There are 3 different 1095 forms - 1095-A, 1095-B and 1095-C.  If you received a Form 1095-A, the information from this form needs to be entered into TurboTax, in the Health Insurance section.

Please see the following TurboTax FAQ, "Where Do I Enter My Form 1095-A?":

If you received either Form 1095-B or Form 1095-C, you do not have to file either Form 1095-B or Form 1095-C with the IRS - there is no filing requirement for these particular forms - just retain them for your records.

In summary:

• Only the 1095-A gets entered into TurboTax in the Health Insurance section

• If you receive a Form 1095-B, entitled “Health Coverage”, the IRS does not need any details from this form, you can just retain for your records any 1095-B forms received from your health insurance company or government agency that sponsors your plan

• If you have a 1095-C, a form entitled “Employer Provided Health insurance Offer and Coverage”, the IRS does not need any details from this form either.  You can keep any 1095-C forms which you receive from your employer, for your records.
