What is Form 1095-A?
Form 1095-A provides the following information for Health Connector members
- Months covered by the Health Connector
- How much tax credit was applied to monthly premiums in 2018
Form 1095-A has information needed to answer questions for Form 8962 when you file a federal tax return. Form 8692 tells the IRS if you got the correct amount of tax credit in 2018. For more information, you can visit the Mass health connector website here.
