Information on 1095 Reporting for Plan year 2017

Posted on Jan 26, 2018 in Health Care Reform

During the first week of October 2017, the Internal Revenue Service published final forms and instructions to help employers prepare for reporting on health coverage they offered to their employees in 2017 year. The forms must be distributed to employees and filed with the IRS early in 2018 by employers subject to the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) reporting requirements.

Below are links to the final forms and instructions on the IRS website:

The IRS had released draft versions of these forms and instructions in September.

The instructions to the Forms 1094-C and 1095-C were released with a few changes:

  • Form 1094-C: A box in Line 22 called “Section 4980H Transition Relief” has been removed. It is not applicable in 2017.
  • Forms 1095-B and 1095-C: A paragraph called “Additional information” in the instructions for recipients directs individuals to an IRS webpage providing information on the individual and employer shared-responsibility provisions and premium tax credits.

The forms for 1094 and 1095 healthcare reporting are available online from the Internal Revenue Service website.

As a refresher:

  1. Form 1094-C is used by employers to give an overview of their plan and cost, and to prove they offered minimum essential coverage to their employees.
  2. Form 1095-C is used by employees and employers to show if they had minimum essential health coverage during the year.

The Internal Revenue Service has the forms available online, along with instructions to help employers complete the forms.
