Tax season is here. If anyone in your household had a Marketplace plan in 2022, you'll need Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace® Statement, to file your federal taxes.

Where’s my Form 1095-A?

• You should get Form 1095-A in the mail by early February.
• Keep it with your important tax information, like W-2 forms and other records.
• Form 1095-A comes from the Marketplace, not the IRS.
• It may be available online in your HealthCare.gov account even sooner. Learn how to find it.

How to use Form 1095-A

• Before you do anything, make sure Form 1095-A is correct. It includes information about any Marketplace plans that members of your household had last year.
• If anything about your coverage or household is wrong, contact the Marketplace Call Center. Don’t file your federal taxes until you’re sent a corrected version.
• Once you’ve verified its accuracy, use the information from your Form 1095-A to “reconcile” any premium tax credit for all household members.

If you missed the January 15 deadline for Marketplace coverage for 2023, you may still have options. You might qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, or you can apply for health coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Find out if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period

• You may be able to enroll in 2023 Marketplace coverage during a Special Enrollment Period if you have limited income, or if you had certain life events, like:
  • Losing qualifying health coverage
  • Getting married
  • Having a baby or adopting a child
  • Moving
• Review the list of life events that may qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period
• Answer a few questions about your situation to learn if you may qualify

Find out if you’re eligible for Medicaid or CHIP

• Medicaid and CHIP are free or low-cost health programs that cover things like hospital stays, doctor services, and prescription drugs for children and some adults, including people with low income, pregnant people, and people with disabilities.
• You can apply for Medicaid and CHIP any time.
• Find out if you may qualify.

Before you can start using your new 2023 Marketplace coverage, you have to pay your first premium. Your premium is the amount you pay every month directly to the health insurance company (not the Marketplace).

Here’s how. (Follow your insurance company’s instructions carefully. You may be able to pay online at HealthCare.gov.)

Pay your monthly premiums to start your coverage

• Pay online – Follow these 4 steps.
• If you can’t pay online, your insurance company should have given you instructions. If they didn’t, reach out to them.
• If you’re not sure you paid, check your online Marketplace account to find out if your coverage is active.
