Getting Ready for Tax Season: What is Form 1095-C?

As part of the Affordable Care Act, Heartland AEA will begin providing employees with Form 1095-C, Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage. This form includes information about health insurance coverage and enrollment that is offered to you and your family, if applicable. Heartland AEA is required to provide both you and the IRS with this information.

If you were a full-time employee for at least one month during the 2015 calendar year or were covered under the Agency’s health plan, you will receive Form 1095-C via U.S. mail by Jan. 31, 2016. You will not receive Form 1095-C if you were a part-time employee throughout the 2015 calendar year and were not covered under Heartland AEA’s health plan. You should wait to complete your 2015 federal income tax return until you receive Form 1095-C.
