Consumers who enrolled in Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM) plans in plan year 2015 ...

... will receive forms that provide information about their health coverage for 2015. Some consumers may not know what to do with these forms and may contact you for guidance.

The Internal Revenue Service has prepared questions and answers about health care information forms to help consumers understand these forms, including who should expect to receive them and how to use the information in them when preparing their federal income tax returns. The information on this webpage will be useful to you in helping consumers.

You can also direct consumers to resources CMS has provided on health coverage and federal income taxes at Marketplace.CMS.gov.

Remember: While you may provide information to consumers about the advance payments of the premium tax credit reconciliation process and the tax forms that they will receive from the FFM, it is important that you not provide any tax filing advice or answer any tax filing questions.

Please refer consumers seeking answers to their questions or advice regarding their personal situations to a tax professional for assistance. For more information on the tax assistance options available, direct consumers to: IRS.gov/freefile or IRS.gov/VITA.
