Tax Information for 2020 Coverage
If you or anyone in your household enrolled in a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) through Access Health CT in 2020, you will be getting a form in the mail by the first week of February 2021 called Form 1095-A with information about your insurance coverage. You will receive a 1095-A form even if you did not receive financial help (tax credits). See below to download our Frequently Asked Questions and a sample of Form 1095-A.
Note: If you enrolled in a Catastrophic health plan in 2020, you will not receive Form 1095-A. Form 1095-A is only sent to individuals who bought qualified health plans through Access Health CT at the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels.
Know the forms you will be receiving:
You will receive a Form 1095-A if you had qualified coverage through Access Health CT. If someone in your household had HUSKY/Medicaid coverage in 2020, they will receive a form called a Form 1095-B from the Connecticut Department of Social Services not from Access Health CT. You should expect a Form 1095-C if you had coverage through your employer or through Medicare. If you have questions, please contact your employer or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
NOTE: You will not get IRS Form 1095-B from the Department of Social Services automatically. If you want to get a 1095-B form mailed to you, please go to https://portal.ct.gov/ctdss1095B to request a form on-line or contact DSS at 1-844-503-6871.
Important things to keep in mind about filing your taxes:
If you received tax credits (financial help) in 2020 and you do not file your tax return with IRS Form 8962 to reconcile your tax credits, you will not be able to receive tax credits in future years until you file your 2020 tax return. If your filing or income information has changed since you applied for healthcare coverage, you may have to pay back some or all of the tax credits (financial help) you received. 1095-A forms CANNOT be emailed or faxed. If you’ve misplaced your 1095- A form, please contact our contact center for assistance.
