Health Care Reporting Tax Form 1095-C

Worthington City Schools

Due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), Worthington City Schools is required to file forms with the IRS providing information about the terms and conditions of our major medical plan and the Colleagues who have elected coverage by March 31. The regulations also require that Worthington City Schools provide Form 1095-c, which has information about major medical plan participation. You do not need this form to file your taxes.

The paper form will be mailed to your home prior to March 31. Please see the instructions and FAQs about this form below.

FAQs:

1. What is the purpose of this form?

A form 1095-c is a little bit like a Form W2. Your employer sends one copy to the internal Revenue Service (IRS) and one copy to you. A Form W2 reports your annual earnings. A Form 1095-c reports your health care coverage throughout the year.

2. Who is sending it to me, when and how?

Worthington Schools has partnered with American Fidelity and American Fidelity will be mailing the forms directly to your home by March 31, 2016. (Starting in 2017, you will receive the form each year by January 31, just like your W2)

3. Why are you sending this form to me?

The form 1095-C will show that you and your family members either did or did not have health coverage during each month of the past year. Because of the ACA, large employers are required to report this information to you and the IRS.. If you had coverage from multiple employers or insurers within 2015 due to job changes or life status changes, you may receive more than one Form 1095-C.

4. What am I supposed to do with this form?

Keep it for your tax records. You don’t actually need this form in order to file your income tax returns, but when you do file, you’ll have to tell the IRS whether or not you had health insurance for each month of 2015. The form 1095-C shows if you had health insurance through your employer. Since you don’t actually need this form to file your income tax returns, you don’t have to wait to receiveif you already know what months you did or did not have health insurance in 2015. When you do get the form, keep it with your other 2015 tax information in case you should need it in the future to help prove you had health insurance.

5. What if I get more than one Form 1095?

Someone who had health insurance through more than one employer during the year may receive a Form 1095-B, or 1095-C from each insurer or employer. Some employees may receive a Form 1095-A and/or 1095-C reporting specific health coverage details. Keep the forms; you do not need to send them with your 2015 income tax returns.

6. What if I did not get a Form 1095-C?
