Summary

Use this article to understand which tax forms your company must file and how to access them.

Content

If your company offers health insurance to your employees, there are a couple tax forms to keep in mind when filing your taxes.

All companies: The Section 125 Premium-Only Plan (POP) document

A Section 125 Premium-Only-Plan (POP) document is a document that complies with IRS regulations, allowing pre-tax payment of premiums for employers and their employees enrolled in a qualified group health insurance plan.

If your benefits are managed by Gusto, we'll manage these documents at no additional charge. We'll send it to you to sign as part of the Health & Welfare Plan Document within 30 days of your plan becoming active. (Note that there may still be costs associated with the health insurance plans themselves.)

To access this document, follow these steps: 

  1. Sign in to your Gusto admin account.
  2. Go to the Documents section.
  3. Choose the Benefits tab.
    • You must have the "Benefits" admin permission or be a global access admin to access this.
  4. Click Health & Welfare Plan Document.
    • This document is only available here if your benefits are managed by Gusto. If you use a broker other than Gusto for health insurance, reach out to them directly for this document and any other questions about your health insurance. 
  5. If the document has not yet been signed, have your company signatory do so.
Companies of 50+ employees: Form 1095-C

Form 1095-C proves that an employee either received or was offered health insurance by their employer. The form is sometimes provided to both the employee and the IRS by the employer.

For tax filings, 1095-Cs are only required for employers that had an average of 50 or more full-time equivalent employees in the previous year.

If you had Gusto-managed benefits through the end of a tax filing year (12/31) and averaged 50+ full-time equivalent employees in the previous year, the form will be mailed directly to employers and will not be stored in Gusto. If another broker manages your benefits, contact them directly for assistance with Form 1095-C.

Health Savings Account holders: Forms 1099-SA and 5498-SA

Two tax forms are provided for employees who have an HSA: 

  • 1099-SA: Received by January 31 and shows your annual distributions. You'll only receive this form if you made distributions from your HSA in the prior calendar year, meaning you spent HSA funds on qualified expenses.
  • 5498-SA: Received by May 31 and shows your annual contributions.

Find your tax forms

UMB Bank sends applicable forms directly to enrolled employees, unless you've changed your delivery preference to electronic delivery only.

You can also find your forms in the Benefits Card Hub:

  1. Sign in to the Benefits Card Hub.
  2. Under "My Accounts," click your HSA.
  3. In the top-right part of the page, click the “More” icon.
  4. Click Tax Forms.
