What can be included in the health insurance coverage reported on Form 1095-A?

The accurate inclusion of health insurance coverage reported on Form 1095-A is specifically related to coverage purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Form 1095-A is used to provide information about health insurance obtained through the Marketplace, which is a part of the Affordable Care Act. This form is important for individuals when they are preparing their federal tax returns, as it helps them determine their eligibility for premium tax credits and other health coverage-related tax benefits.

Coverage obtained through the Marketplace is essential because it represents the options available for individuals who do not have access to affordable employer-sponsored or other qualifying coverage. The inclusion of only employer-provided coverage, all international health insurance plans, or all government-funded programs does not align with the specific purpose of Form 1095-A, as it is designed to reflect only the health insurance policies that individuals purchased through the Marketplace during a given tax year.
