IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING IRS FORM 1095-C

The IRS has announced the filing due date for the 2016 Form 1095-C.

The due date for furnishing the 2016 Form 1095-C, Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage, to individuals is March 2, 2017.  Full-time employees can expect to receive their OTC issued 1095-C form by February 28, 2017.

Individual taxpayers will generally not be affected by this extension and should file their tax returns as they normally would.

However, due to these extensions, some individual taxpayers may not receive a Form 1095-C by the time they are ready to file their 2016 tax return. While the information on this form may assist in preparing a return, it is not required. Like last year, taxpayers can prepare and file their returns using other information about their health insurance. Individuals do not have to wait for their Form 1095-C in order to file.  For additional information please visit https://www.irs.gov/Affordable-Care-Act/Questions-and-Answers-about-Health-Care-Information-Forms-for-Individuals.
