It’s Tax Season Again…
Special Information about Healthcare Tax Form--IRS Form 1095-B for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program Members

Important for Tax Year 2024!  Enrollees in the HUSKY Health program will NOT automatically receive IRS Form 1095-B in the mail. 

As of tax year 2019, the IRS Form 1095-B is NO LONGER REQUIRED by federal law when preparing your federal tax returns.  Form 1040 no longer asks if you had Minimum Essential Coverage during the year. The IRS form 1095-B is NOT needed by tax consultants to complete your tax documents.

Previously, IRS Form 1095-B was required by federal law to be sent to you to help you prepare your federal tax return.  However, since the individual shared responsibility payment is now zero, this means there is no longer a penalty for not having minimum essential coverage.  DSS is no longer required to automatically send everyone a form, but DSS is required to make IRS Form 1095-B available to you upon request.  You may request a form for any tax year beginning with tax year 2015.
