QUESTION

I had coverage through my employer last year. The IRS tax filing instructions say my employer was supposed to provide me with a Form 1095-B or 1095-C. But I've never received either of those forms. What should I do?

ANSWER

You can file your tax return without these forms because they are not required to be filed with your taxes. These forms provide information about you, and if applicable, your family about health coverage for the tax filing year. Your employer or health insurers must provide you with a Form 1095-B or 1095-C (depending on how you receive your health insurance coverage) to be kept with your tax records. If you believe you should have received either Form 1095-B or 1095-C, you should contact your employer or, in some cases, the coverage provider (but you can still file your tax return without these forms).
