Employees to Receive New Tax Form 1095-C Later than Previously Announced

MCPS Bulletin Posted On March 8, 2016
0


As announced in January, most MCPS employees will receive a new tax form this year—the 1095-C. The 1095-C will be available during the third week of March (it was previously announced that this form would be available in early March).

The 1095-C will contain important information about employees’ health care coverage in 2015. You should receive a 1095-C if you—

  • were enrolled in an MCPS-provided medical insurance plan at any point in 2015, and/or
  • worked an average of 30 or more hours per week or were considered a full-time employee in 2015.

Although you may choose to submit your 1095-C to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with your 2015 income tax return, you are not required to. Should you submit your tax return prior to receiving your 1095-C, you will NOT need to amend your tax return to include it. MCPS will submit the information from your 1095-C to the IRS as it is required to do.

To learn more, visit the Tax Information for Employees web page. If you believe you should receive a 1095-C, but do not have one by March 31, 2016, contact the Employee and Retiree Service Center (ERSC) at 301-517-8100.
