Summary

If you're enrolled in health insurance through Gusto, use this article to know what insurance tax forms to look for when you file your taxes.

Solution

If your company offers health insurance, there are a couple of tax forms to look out for when you file your taxes. If you're unable to locate any of these forms, contact us through the Help section of your account.

Companies of 50+ employees: Form 1095-C

Form 1095-C proves 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 at least 50 full-time equivalent employees in the previous year.

How to find your 1095-C: If you had Gusto-managed benefits during a tax filing year and averaged 50+ full-time equivalent employees in the previous year, Gusto prepares the form for you and send it at the end of the year by mail. It will not be available in your Gusto account. 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. At the top-right of the page, click the circle with your initials.
  3. Click Manage Account.
  4. Go to the Statements & Documents tab.
Health coverage: Form 1095-B

Form 1095-B is the form most people with benefits will receive from their insurance carrier. You can reference this form when verifying on tax returns that you and dependents have at least Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC).

The 1095-B includes:

  • The type of coverage
  • Dependents covered
  • The coverage period

How to find this form: Your insurance carrier sends this directly to the plan’s primary subscriber. Contact your carrier to request another copy.
