1. Find your Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace® Statement
Log into your account — select your 2024 application, then select "Tax forms."
Don’t file your 2024 taxes until you have an accurate 1095-A.
2. Make sure your 1095-A is correct — and if not, call us
Confirm basic information about health plan and household members on Parts I and II of the form. Contact the Marketplace Call Center if you find an error.
3. Fill out Form 8962 to reconcile
- Use the information from your 1095-A to fill out Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit.
- Use Form 8962 to reconcile your premium tax credit — compare the amount you used in 2024 to lower your monthly plan premium with the actual premium tax credit you qualify for based on your final 2024 income. Any difference will affect your refund or tax owed.
4. Attach Form 8962 when you file your federal income tax return
Don't attach your 1095-A to your return. Keep both your 1095-A and a copy of Form 8962 with your other tax documents.
