IRS Release Status: FINAL

Sample Excel Import File: 1095-B 2016.xlsx 

What's New for 2016

  • Filing requirements.   Health insurance issuers and carriers are encouraged (but not required) to report coverage in catastrophic health plans enrolled in through the Marketplace for months in 2016.
  • Form revisions.    The language “Do not attach to your tax return. Keep for your records.” was inserted on the Form 1095-B under the title of the form. Form 1095-B, Part I, lines 2 and 3, and Part IV, columns (b) and (c) were updated to reflect the rule that a taxpayer identification number (TIN) may be entered. Form 1095-B, line 9 is now reserved. The heading to Part II was revised to read “Information about Certain Employer-Sponsored Coverage” to clarify that Part II will be blank for some individuals with employer-sponsored coverage. Other minor clarifying changes were made to Form 1095-B.
