2022 1095-C TAX FORM
Part of the ACA legislation requires that Krause Group and all related companies to provide employees that were eligible for health care coverage in 2022 with a 1095-C tax form. The deadline for employers to provide the 2022 1095-C tax form has been extended to March 2, 2023. These tax forms will be mailed separately to your home address by March 2, 2023.
Individual taxpayers will generally not be affected by this extension and should file their returns as they normally would. You do not have to wait for the 1095-C tax form from Krause Group to file your 2022 income tax return. Although the 1095-C tax form is intended to help you report your insurance coverage, you can use other forms of documentation, in lieu of the 1095-C tax form, to prepare your income tax return. Other forms of documentation that would provide proof of your insurance coverage include the following:
- Insurance cards
- Explanation of benefits (EOB)
- Statements from your insurer, Wellmark BC/BS of Iowa
- W-2 or payroll statements reflecting health insurance deductions
- Other statements indicating that you, or a member of your family, had health insurance coverage
Remember, although you are not required to file the 1095-C tax form with your income tax return, it is important that you do not discard this document. Only one 1095-C tax form is provided for all individuals covered by your health plan, and it should be kept in your records with any other important tax documents.
