Tax Form 1095-C
As required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Indiana University reports information about the medical insurance offered to employees and dependents on Form 1095-C. These forms are distributed to employees each year.
1095-C statements for the 2023 tax year will be distributed no later than the IRS deadline, March 1, 2024. USPS mail delivery is the default delivery method, but employees are strongly encouraged to sign up for electronic delivery through the 1095-C Electronic Consent task at One.IU. This method saves paper and allows employees to receive their statement much sooner. Regardless of the delivery method, all employees will receive an email notification to their IU email address when their 1095-C is available.
You do not need this form to file your taxes; however, you are encouraged to keep it with your tax records.
For questions or to request a correction to your 1095-C, contact IU Human Resources at or (812) 856-1234.
FAQs about Form 1095-C
What is Form 1095-C?
Form 1095-C (also called a 1095-C statement) contains information about the medical coverage offered to you and your dependents by Indiana University.
Although individuals are no longer required to report whether they had health insurance on their federal tax returns, the ACA still requires large employers to offer affordable medical coverage to their employees. The information on Form 1095-C is provided to the IRS to demonstrate Indiana University’s compliance with these provisions. You receive a copy of the form as a record of the information the university provided to the IRS about you and your covered dependents.
Delivery of Form 1095-C
Who will receive a Form 1095-C from Indiana University?
The following individuals will receive a 1095-C from IU:
- Employees who were full-time (defined by the ACA as 30 service hours per week) for one month or more in 2023

However, for your first year of Medicare eligibility, if you were enrolled in an employee plan (including COBRA) for any part of the year, you can expect to receive a 1095-C from IU for those months.
- International and professional students with IU-sponsored medical insurance. You will receive a 1095-B directly from Anthem.
Will dependents who are covered on my medical insurance also get a Form 1095-C?
No. 1095-C statements are only sent to the primary subscriber. Information about covered dependents is included on the primary subscriber’s Form 1095-C.
What if I no longer have access to IU systems?
If you separated employment with IU and no longer have access to the Employee Center, you can submit a Duplicate Statement Request Form to receive a paper copy of your 1095-C.

Information on the Form 1095-C
What information is on Form 1095-C?
The following are brief descriptions of each section of Form 1095-C. Instructions, provided by the IRS, are included with the form.
- Part I reports information about you and your employer.
- Part II reports information about the coverage offered to you by your employer, the affordability of the coverage offered, and the reason why you were or were not offered coverage for each month.
- Part III reports information about the individuals covered under your plan, including dependents.
The dollar amount listed in Part II, Line 15, is not what I paid for medical insurance. Is this a mistake?
No. The dollar amount listed on Line 15 is the lowest monthly cost for self-only coverage that was available to you in that calendar month. It is not necessarily what you actually paid for coverage that month.
What do the codes mean in Part II, Column 14 and 16 of my 1095-C?
These codes provide information to the IRS about the coverage offered to you by Indiana University, the affordability of the coverage offered, and the reason why you were or were not offered coverage for each month. Explanations for each code can be found in the instructions on the back of Form 1095-C.
