Instructions for Form 1095-A
Health Insurance Marketplace Statement
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code
unless otherwise noted.
Statements to Individuals
Furnishing required information to the individual.
Marketplaces use Form 1095-A to furnish the required
statement to recipients. A separate Form 1095-A must be
furnished for each policy, and the information on the Form
1095-A should relate only to that policy. If two or more tax
filers are enrolled in one policy, each tax filer receives a
statement reporting coverage of only the members of that
tax filer's tax family (a tax family may include the tax filer,
the tax filer’s spouse if the tax filer is filing a joint return
with his or her spouse, and the tax filer’s dependents).
See the instructions for line 4 for more information about
who is a recipient. Don't furnish a Form 1095-A for a
catastrophic health plan or a stand-alone dental plan. See
the instructions for Part III, column A.

On Form 1095-A statements furnished to recipients,
filers of Form 1095-A may truncate the social security
number (SSN) of an individual receiving coverage by
showing only the last four digits of the SSN and replacing
the first five digits with asterisks (*) or Xs. Truncation isn't
allowed on forms filed with the IRS.
Statements must be furnished to recipients on paper by
mail, unless a recipient affirmatively consents to receive
the statement in an electronic format. If mailed, the
statement must be sent to the recipient’s last known
permanent address, or if no permanent address is known,
to the recipient’s temporary address.
General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Form 1095-A is used to report certain information to the
IRS about individuals who enroll in a qualified health plan
through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Form 1095-A
is also furnished to individuals to allow them to take the
premium tax credit, to reconcile the credit on their returns
with advance payments of the premium tax credit
(advance credit payments), and to file an accurate tax
return.
Consent to furnish statement electronically. The
requirement to obtain affirmative consent to furnish a
statement electronically ensures that statements are sent
electronically only to individuals who are able to access
them. A recipient may provide her or his consent on paper
or electronically, such as by email. If consent is provided
on paper, the recipient must confirm the consent
electronically. An electronic statement may be furnished
by email or by informing the recipient how to access the
statement on a Marketplace’s website (for example, in the
recipient's Marketplace account).
Who Must File
Health Insurance Marketplaces must file Form 1095-A to
report information on all enrollments in qualified health
plans in the individual market through the Marketplace. Do
not file a Form 1095-A for a catastrophic health plan or a
separate dental policy (called a stand-alone dental plan in
these instructions).
When To File
File the annual report with the IRS and furnish the
statements to individuals on or before January 31, 2024,
for coverage in calendar year 2023.
The requirement to furnish a statement to individuals
will be met if the Form 1095-A is properly addressed and
mailed or furnished electronically (if the recipient has
consented to electronic receipt) on or before the due date.
If the regular due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday, furnish the statement by the next business day. A
business day is any day that isn't a Saturday, Sunday, or
legal holiday.
Specific Instructions
Part I—Recipient Information
Line 1. Enter the Marketplace state name or
abbreviation.

the policy. If the policy number is greater than 15
characters, enter only the last 15 characters.
How To File
Line 3. Enter the name of the issuer of the policy.
Electronic filing. You must submit the information to the
IRS electronically. Submit the information through the
Department of Health and Human Services Data Services
Hub.
Line 4. Enter the name of the recipient of the statement.
This should be the person identified at enrollment as the
tax filer (the person who is expected to file a tax return, to
Sep 29, 2023
Cat. No. 63016Q
claim other family members as dependents, and who, if
qualified, would take the premium tax credit for the year of
coverage for his or her tax family). If the tax filer can't be
identified from the information provided at enrollment (for
example, because no financial assistance was
requested), enter the name of the primary applicant for the
coverage.
Column A. Enter the total monthly enrollment premiums
for the policy in which the covered individuals enrolled.
Include only the premiums allocable to essential health
benefits. If a covered individual is enrolled in a
stand-alone dental plan, include the portion of the
premiums for the stand-alone dental plan that is allocable
to pediatric dental coverage in the total monthly
enrollment premiums. If more than one Form 1095-A is
filed for coverage of the recipient’s family for the same
months because, for example, a family member enrolled
in a separate policy, include the portion of the premium for
pediatric dental coverage in the amount in column A on
only one Form 1095-A. If more than one tax filer is
enrolled in a policy, report on each tax filer's Form 1095-A
only those enrollment premiums allocated to that tax filer.
If a policy is terminated by an issuer for nonpayment of
premiums, enter -0- for a month in which the covered
individuals have coverage but the premiums are not fully
paid (generally, the first month of a grace period). If one or
more covered individuals terminate coverage before the
last day of a month, the amount reported in this column
should not include any amount of the monthly enrollment
premium that was refunded. If the issuer provided a
premium credit for one or more months, the amount
reported in this column should be the amount of the
monthly enrollment premium as reduced by any premium
credit.
Line 5. Enter the social security number (SSN) for the
recipient shown on line 4.
Line 6. Enter the recipient’s date of birth only if line 5 is
blank.
Lines 7, 8, and 9. Enter information about the recipient’s
spouse, if the recipient has one, if advance credit
payments were made for the coverage. Enter this
information even if the advance credit payments were not
made for the spouse's coverage. Enter a date of birth only
if line 8 is blank.
Line 10. Enter the date that coverage under the policy
started. If the policy was in effect at the start of the year,
enter 1/1/2023.
Line 11. Enter the date of termination if the policy was
terminated during the year. If the policy was in effect at the
end of the year, enter 12/31/2023.
Lines 12–15. Enter the recipient's address.
Part II—Covered Individuals
Column B. Enter the premiums for the applicable second
lowest cost silver plan (SLCSP) that was used as a
benchmark to compute monthly advance credit payments.
If advance payments were made, the applicable SLCSP
for a month is the SLCSP that applies to individuals in Part
II who were identified at enrollment as members of the tax
filer's tax family (the tax filer, the tax filer's spouse if the tax
filer is filing a joint return with her or his spouse, and any
dependents of the tax filer) and who are enrolled in the
coverage on the first day of the month and are not eligible
for other health coverage for that month. However, if an
individual enrolls in coverage and the enrollment is
effective on the date of the individual's birth, adoption,
placement in foster care, or on the effective date of a court
order, the individual should be considered to have

information for each individual covered under the policy,
including the recipient and the recipient's spouse, if
covered. If advance credit payments were not made for
any coverage under the policy and a tax family cannot be
identified, enter in Part II information for all covered
individuals. If advance credit payments were made for the
coverage or a tax family can be identified, enter in Part II
information only for covered individuals whom the tax filer
certified at enrollment would be a part of the tax filer's tax
family. Information about individuals enrolled in the same
policy as the tax filer’s tax family who are not members of
that tax family, including children, must be reported on a
separate Form 1095-A.
enrolled on the first day of the month for purposes of the
applicable SLCSP premium reported in column B. If all
covered individuals enroll after the first of the month, and
no individual's coverage is effective on the date of the
individual's birth, adoption, placement in foster care, or on
the effective date of a court order, enter -0- in column B for
that month. If more than one Form 1095-A is filed for
coverage of a tax filer’s family for the same month (for
example, because members of the family were split
among several policies), enter the SLCSP premium that
applies to all the family members who were enrolled in any
policy on the first of the month and who were not eligible
for other health coverage for that month. Enter this SLCSP
premium in column B on each Form 1095-A.
For each line, enter a date of birth in column C only if
column B is blank. Enter in column D the date the
coverage started for the individual. Enter in column E the
date of termination if the individual's coverage was
terminated during the year. If the coverage was in effect at
the end of the year, enter 12/31/2023.
If there are more than five covered individuals,
complete one or more additional Forms 1095-A,

Part III—Coverage Information
Enter information in Part III, lines 21 through 32, for each
month of coverage. This information is determined on a
monthly basis and may change during the year if there is a
change in enrollment or other circumstances that affect
eligibility for, or the amount of, the premium tax credit.
Total the amounts on lines 21 through 32 and enter on
line 33.
In some cases, the information provided at enrollment
may not indicate which covered individuals are members
of the recipient's family and are not eligible for other health
coverage. (Such information may not be provided, for
example, because no financial assistance was
requested.) If this is the case, and if the Marketplace has

Instructions for Form 1095-A (2023)
provided a tool for determining the applicable SLCSP
premium for the year of coverage at the time of filing the
tax return, leave column B blank. If the Marketplace has
not provided a tool for determining the applicable SLCSP
premium, enter the premiums for the SLCSP that would
apply to all individuals identified in Part II as covered for
the month.
If a policy is terminated by an issuer for nonpayment of
premiums and advance credit payments are made,
enter -0- for a month in which the covered individuals have
coverage but the premiums are not paid (generally, the
first month of a grace period). However, if an individual
enrolled on the first day of a month terminates coverage
before the last day of the month, the individual should be
considered to have been enrolled for the entire month for
purposes of the applicable SLCSP premium reported in
column B.
Column C. Enter the amount of advance credit payments
for the month. If more than one Form 1095-A is filed for
coverage of a tax filer’s family for the same months, enter
only the advance credit payment amount allocated to the
policy reported on this Form 1095-A. If the tax filer’s family
is also enrolled in a stand-alone dental plan, any advance
credit payments allocated to the stand-alone dental plan
should be added to the advance credit payments
allocated to one of the policies reported on a Form
1095-A.
