Ithaca College

Employees eligible for medical coverage through Ithaca College will receive a 1095-C form in late February.  The forms will be mailed to your home address prior to the March 4th deadline. 

The 1095-C Form provides information about coverage you were offered and enrolled in for calendar year 2018.  No action is necessary on your part.  We suggest that you keep this document with your tax related item for future reference.  

Tax payers are asked on their tax return if they and their dependents had minimum essential health insurance for each moth of 2018.  For those of you who had employer-sponsored health insurance, such as what is provided by Ithaca College, it is only necessary to check the appropriate box on your tax return to affirm coverage. You do not need to attached this form to your tax return.  More information can be found at www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/affordable-care-act-tax-provisions-questions-and-answers
