Life happens. Let’s make sure your benefits work for you.

To report a tax credit, you need these forms:*

Form 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace^® Statement)

This form shows how much your health plan costs and the tax credits you received. It’s mailed to you in February. Need a copy? Log in to your Healthcare.gov account.

Form 8962 (Premium Tax Credit) 

The next step is to file Form 8962 with your tax return. To complete it, you’ll use the information from statement 1095-A. You can find Form 8962 and helpful information on the IRS website. 

Keep in mind: This isn’t tax or legal advice. If you need help, contact your tax or legal professional.

*FOR FEDERAL TAX RETURN FORM DETAILS: This is not legal or tax advice. Contact your legal counsel if you have questions.

Update your information right away! Keeping your application current helps make sure your premium tax credit is correct. For example, if your family grows, you could qualify for a higher tax credit. Or if your income goes up, you could qualify for a lower tax credit. (The sooner you report a raise in income, the less you may have to pay back on your taxes.) 

Examples of changes to report include:

• You got a raise or lost a job
• You got married or had a baby
• You became eligible for Medicare or Medicaid 
• You had a change in disability or citizenship status
