File 1095-B Online

What is IRS Form 1095-B?

• Tax1099 offers Affordable Care Act Forms 1095-B and 1095-C, for reporting information to the IRS and to taxpayers about individuals not covered by the minimum essential healthcare coverage. Example use: Any person who provides minimum essential healthcare coverage to an individual must file an information return reporting the individual’s coverage.

Form 1095-B

Form 1095-B provides information about your health coverage.

The form has four parts:

• Part I identifies the policyholder for the insurance policy. For an employer-sponsored plan, for example, this would be the name of the employee.

• Part II identifies the employer, if the insurance is employer-sponsored.

• Part III identifies the insurance company providing the coverage.

• Part IV lists the people covered under the policyholder’s policy, by year or by month.

When would you need to file a 1095-B?

Form 1095-B is used to report certain information to the IRS and to taxpayers about individuals who are covered by minimum essential coverage. Eligibility for certain types of minimum essential coverage can affect a taxpayer's eligibility for the premium tax credit.

Every person that provides minimum essential coverage to an individual during a calendar year must file an information return reporting the coverage. Filers will use Form 1094-B (transmittal) to submit Forms 1095-B (returns).

Employers (including government employers) subject to the employer shared responsibility provisions sponsoring self-insured group health plans generally will report information about the coverage in Part III of Form 1095-C instead of on Form 1095-B.
