University Human Resources to begin mailing IRS Form 1095-C to employees this week

This week, University Human Resources will be mailing IRS Form 1095-C to employees who were eligible for health insurance benefits last year.

The University provides employees with W2 tax forms for use in filing their tax return. Employees will only receive a mailed copy because there is no available download from "My Personal Information." Under the Affordable Care Act, the University must also provide form 1095C to certain employees to assist them with answering health care related questions when filing tax returns.  

Employees who will receive the form include those who:

• Were enrolled in health care coverage from Ohio University at any point during the year
• Worked an average of 30 or more hours per week or were considered a full-time employee and were offered health care.

When filing your tax return, you may be required to indicate if you had qualifying health care coverage for you and any covered dependents (if filing jointly) by checking a box on line 61 of IRS Form 1040 or by completing IRS form 8965. The 1095C form reports the months you and any family members were offered and covered under the university’s health plans.  Employees do not submit the forms when filing their tax return.
