What is Form 1095-A? What should I do with it?You’ll need to use Form 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace Statement) when you file your federal income taxes to show proof that you have health insurance. You may also need to use Form 1095-A to complete Form 8962 if you chose to have advance premium tax credit (APTC). You should get the form in the mail from the Marketplace by early February. Keep your 1095-A form with your W-2 forms and other tax records. What is Form 8962? What should I do with it?You can file Form 8962 (Premium Tax Credit) with your tax return if you want to claim the premium tax credit or if advance payments were made to Kaiser Permanente. You'll need to file a long form 1040. You'll find the information you need to fill out Form 8962 in your Form 1095-A. What is the advance premium tax credit (APTC)?The APTC is a payment the federal government makes directly to a health plan insurer such as Kaiser Permanente to lower someone’s premium during the year. You need to meet specific rules to get this kind of financial help. Please visit the IRS website for more information. I got an advance premium tax credit (APTC). How was my financial help calculated?Your Marketplace calculated your tax credit based on:
I chose an advance premium tax credit (APTC). Will I get a credit or have to pay money back?When you file your taxes, your APTC will be reconciled. That means it’s recalculated based on your actual income and dependent information for the previous year. Then it will be compared to the advance payments made to Kaiser Permanente for your premiums. Filling out your Form 8962 (Premium Tax Credit) will help you figure out if you have a credit or a payment. You’ll use the information on your Form 1095-A to complete Form 8962.

Why did I get a second Form 1095-A with different information?Sometimes you'll get a corrected Form 1095-A when information used in the original one changes.

For more information about filing an amended tax return, contact your tax professional, if you have one, or visit the IRS page on amended tax returns. If you already filed your federal income tax return using information from a previous Form 1095-A sent to you, and you didn't resolve the incorrect information with the IRS, you may need to file an amended return.
