Do you have to submit Form 1095 if you have health insurance?

Depending on who provided your health insurance coverage, as just noted, you should receive either Form 1095-A, Form 1095-B, or Form 1095-C. You usually have to provide information from these forms, or acknowledge that you have received one of them, on your federal tax return. You do not have to submit the form itself.

Where does the 1095-B form come from?

You would get this form if you obtained health insurance coverage from a health insurer. The form comes from your insurer.

Do you need to reconcile 1095 with 1095-B?
