• ACA Tax Requirements

    Information needed for your taxes

     

    The district will mail every full-time employee a 1095c Form – proof of healthcare coverage. This form, along with your W-2, will be mailed to your home in early February. The 1095-C form shows which months of the year you were eligible for coverage and the cost of the least expensive monthly premium you could have paid under district plans.  

     

    All full-time employees, excluding temps and subs, will receive a 1095-C form. AEA, Local 71 custodians and Bus employees will receive two 1095-C forms, one from ASD and one from their designated bargaining group.   

     

    To be sure you receive the new healthcare coverage form - make sure the district has your correct address. You can update your address with HR Talent Management at the ASD Education Center.

     

     

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Below are some answers to frequently asked questions about the healthcare reform law (also known as the Affordable Care Act or ACA).  

    What do I put on my tax return?

    You will indicate whether you (and your dependents) had coverage on your Federal income tax return.  You will receive information from your employer and/or your health insurance provider about the coverage in which you are enrolled and/or were offered, but you should not provide this information to the IRS with your tax return. This process functions in the same manner as your Form W2 in that regard.

     

    Healthcare reporting law

    Since 2014, the healthcare reform law (the Affordable Care Act (ACA)) has required individuals to have health insurance that meets the “minimum essential coverage” standards or potentially pay a penalty. Beginning in the tax year 2019, the amount of individual shared responsibility payment is reduced to zero, meaning there is no longer an individual penalty. When you file your Federal income tax return, you still must indicate whether you (and your dependents) had the type of health insurance required by the law. The IRS will also receive information about your coverage from your employer and/or your health insurance provider. 

     

    What information about my coverage will I receive?

    You will receive a Form 1095-C from Î÷Ê©Ö±²¥APP School District. This form shows which months of the year you were eligible for coverage and the cost of the least expensive monthly premium you could have paid under our plans for employee only coverage. Section III of the form provides information about the months in which you and/or your dependents were covered under our plan. Information from Form 1095-C, Section III can be used in completing your Federal income tax return.

     

    Keep all forms you receive with your tax documents in case you are ever asked to provide proof of coverage. Your tax preparer may also ask for these forms as documentation. You do not need to submit these forms with your taxes and can prepare taxes without them if you know the months of the year that you (and your dependents) had coverage.

     

    What if my dependents or I had other coverage?

    If you are covered under your spouse or domestic partner’s plan, these forms will be provided by their employer and/or insurance carrier. If you were covered by a healthcare marketplace plan, you would receive a similar form (1095-A) from your healthcare carrier. 

     

    When will I receive the forms?

    You should expect to receive your forms in early February.
