The 2017 1095-C has been mailed as of March 2 to employees eligible for health benefits in 2017. The form is also available in the employee portal [3] for viewing and download.

What is a 1095-C form?

Form 1095-C is sent to employees annually and provides them with information regarding their employer-provided health insurance coverage. It specifies the months of health care coverage for the employee and their eligible dependents.

How do I use Form 1095-C to complete my tax return?

When completing their federal tax return, employees will need to indicate whether they had qualifying health coverage for all of 2017 or whether they qualified for a health coverage exemption.

Per the IRS, employees are not required to submit this form with their 2017 tax filing; however, they should keep this form with any 2017 tax records. Please consult a qualified tax advisor if questions should arise.
