What is Form 1095-C?

Form 1095-C is a tax form sent from employers to employees that describes the health insurance available to them.

It's an annual statement required by law under the Affordable Care Act.

Companies must send 1095-Cs to their workers if they have 50 or more full-time employees.

Who needs to file Form 1095-C?

  • Employers with 50 or more full-time employees issue Form 1095-C to employees who meet the criteria for health insurance coverage.
  • It's essential for accurate tax reporting.

Note on the recipient statement date

The due date for furnishing Form 1095-C to employees carries an automatic, permanent 30-day extension from the standard January 31 deadline, which is why it lands in early March rather than early February.
