IRS Form 1095-C not required to file your taxes

Effective January 2014, the Affordable Care Act (also known as the "ACA," Health Care Reform or Obamacare) implemented the Individual Shared Responsibility Provision, which requires most U.S. residents to have minimum essential health insurance coverage that meets certain standards or pay a fine. The IRS requires Purdue, as your employer, to report whether you and your dependents (if applicable) had coverage in 2015; therefore, you will be receiving a Form 1095-C, which details if Purdue offered you health coverage and during which months.

You will receive this form by March 31; however, you are not required to submit the form in order to complete your tax return and may file as normal.

If you have questions, contact the Human Resources Service Center at 49-42222 or at the Health Care Reform inquiry inbox at benefits@purdue.edu.
