IRS Forms 1095-B & 1095-C Coming Soon
IRS Forms 1095-B and 1095-C will be issued to all employees who are enrolled in an ACC health plan. In addition, those who worked more than 30 hours per week in 2017 but do not have health coverage will receive a 1095-C from ACC.
The IRS Form 1095-C is issued by ACC and contains information about whether you were offered qualified and affordable health care coverage. In addition, ACC employees who are enrolled in either the HealthSelect or Scott & White health plans through the ERS will receive an IRS Form 1095-B from their health plan. The IRS Form 1095-B reports if you and each of your covered dependents had health coverage with the plan during the year. The IRS Form 1095-B will come from your health carrier, Blue Cross Blue Shield or Scott & White HMO.
The forms provide information about your health coverage that employees use when completing their annual income tax filing. The forms should be retained with your tax records, but do not need to be included with your filed tax return.
If you do not receive your IRS Form 1095-B by the end of February, or if you lose it, you can call your medical insurance provider toll-free to request another copy. Contact information:
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas: (800) 252-8039 (TTY: 711) 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., CT Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 3 p.m., CT Saturday.
- Scott & White Health Plan: (800) 321-7947, TTY/TTD (800) 735-2989, 24 hours, seven days a week
If you do not receive your IRS Form 1095-C by mid-February, please contact the HR Benefits office at [email protected] or call Alisol Martinez at 512-223-7800.
