Before March 2, 2021 eligible employees will receive a Form 1095-C tax document, which reports information about your medical coverage in 2020. While you will not need to include your 1095-C with your 2020 tax return filing, or send it to the IRS, you may need information from your 1095-C to help complete your tax return. Think of it as your “proof of medical insurance” for the IRS.
Who receives a Form 1095-C form?
Any GW employee who was considered full-time at any point in 2020 or who was enrolled in a GW medical plan in 2020. The Affordable Care Act defines “full-time” as an employee who worked an average of 30 or more hours per week.
There are three parts to the form:
- Part 1 reports information about you and GW.
- Part 2 reports information about the coverage offered to you by GW, the affordability of the coverage offered, and the reason why you were or were not offered coverage.
- Part 3 reports information about the individuals (including dependents) covered under the self-insured plan.
