The Department of Health and Human Services Friday issued a factsheet reviewing the federal tax filing process for people who purchased health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplaces. “Now that tax season is here, individuals and families enrolled in a health plan through the Marketplace will need to provide some basic information about their health insurance when they file their taxes,” the document notes. “All Marketplace consumers will receive a new statement – called a Form 1095-A – that includes all the information they need about their coverage to file their return.” Consumers with questions can call the Marketplace Call Center at 800-318-2596, or visit www.IRS.gov or www.healthcare.gov/taxes. Some Marketplace consumers also may qualify for free tax assistance; for more information, visit www.IRS.gov/freefile or www.IRS.gov/VITA.
