Form 1095-C

About the 1095-C form, how to access it in Workday, and how to choose electronic delivery of your annual form.

What To Know

Affordable Care Act: Tax Form 1095-C

  • The 1095-C Form is used to report health care coverage offered to you. The Affordable Care Act requires employers with at least 50 full-time workers to offer their employees health insurance. Each year those employers must send a statement (Form 1095-C) to all employees eligible for coverage, regardless of whether they participate in the employer's health plan. The form reports information on health coverage offered to employees and dependents enrolled in that coverage.
  • You are not required to send a copy of the Form 1095-C to the IRS with your tax return. However, you should store it with the rest of your important tax information, like W-2s, when you do receive it.
  • A 1095-C form will be sent by mail to your home address every year, unless you elect to download the form electronically in Workday; see instructions below.
  • Online statements require a computer with internet access and Adobe Reader (click here for free download) to view, download, and print the tax document.
