Your 1095-A Tax Statement

If you or your household enrolled in a Qualified Health Plan through Your Health Idaho at anytime during the year, you’ll receive Form 1095-A: Health Insurance Marketplace Statement. Your Health Idaho sends this form to you and the IRS by January 31 via U.S. mail.

The 1095-A tax statement verifies your health insurance:

  • Household members enrolled in your health plan
  • How many months you had health insurance during the year
  • The cost of your monthly premiums
  • Amount of the Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) that you received

Use the information from your 1095-A tax statement to reconcile APTC on your tax return.

NOTE: Form 1095-A is not required for catastrophic or stand-alone dental plans.

IMPORTANT: Don’t file your taxes until you have an accurate 1095-A tax statement.

You receive a unique 1095-A tax statement for each policy you had. You might receive multiple 1095-A tax statements for these reasons:

  • You or your household were enrolled in one health plan and then switched to another plan.
  • Members in your household were not enrolled in the same plan.

Use the information from each form to fill out Form 8962: Premium Tax Credit.

Read the instructions on the back of Form 1095-A carefully and review your plan.
