How to Add Healthcare to Your Taxes
In most cases, Forms 1095-B and 1095-C are informational and do not need to be added to your return. If you receive a 1095-A for Marketplace healthcare, you will need to add this to your return. Below are simple instructions on adding your form and some tips within your eFile account.
1095-A Steps, Help
Add your details and forms
eFile will walk you through adding all your forms - select the prompt when you first sign in to enter all your identifying data, then proceed through all sections. Add your
W-2,
1099 forms, 1098 forms, and other details as needed.
Health Care section
You will reach the Healt Care tab after Deductions & Credits. Here, select "Yes" if you have a 1095-A -
otherwise, select "No" as this section is only for Form 1095-A - and begin entering the information from your 1095-A. Be sure to enter the marketplace identifier, policy information, and the dates you were covered all reported on your form. If you have full-year coverage, you can enter "1/1/20XX" as the start date and "12/31/20XX" as the end date where "XX" is the
current tax year.
Entries, details
Select who was covered by this specific policy (yourself, your spouse, and dependents) - if someone on your return was covered by a different policy, you can add another 1095-A after completing this one.
The next question asks if this was full-year coverage (Yes) or if it was only for part of the year (No). If entering coverage for the full year, enter the totals for columns A-C as reported on your form. If entering coverage by month for part of the year, enter each month for A, B, and C for all months that are applicable. You can then enter the total and then save your form. Answer a couple more questions and then you are done adding your 1095-A.
Note: your annual totals must match the total of your monthly costs. Review all entries based on your form and be sure it is all accurate.
