Get Irs 1094-b 2024-2025

Form 1094-B is essentially a cover sheet used by insurance providers when they send the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) information about who has health coverage that meets the standards of the Affordable Care Act. The 1094-B is a brief form that takes up less than a page.

Employers with 50 or more full-time employees (including full-time equivalent employees) in the previous year use Forms 1094-C and 1095-C to report the information required under sections 6055 and 6056 about offers of health coverage and enrollment in health coverage for their employees.

Every person that provides minimum essential coverage to an individual during a calendar year must file an information return reporting the coverage. Filers will use Form 1094-B (transmittal) to submit Forms 1095-B (returns).

1094-B vs. 1094-C: If you provide fully-insured health coverage to your employees, no matter the size of your business, 1094-B will be completed for you by your carrier. Form 1094-C is a requirement for Applicable Large Employers (ALE), or those with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees.

The main difference between them is that the 1095-C provides information about health insurance and is sent to both employees and the IRS, while the 1094-C acts as a cover sheet about the 1095-C and is sent only to the IRS.

Form 1095-B – Individuals who have health coverage outside of the Marketplace will get this form (except for employees of applicable large employers that provide self-insured coverage, who will receive Form 1095-C instead). Form 1095-C - Individuals who work full-time for applicable large employers will get this form.

Whoever provides minimum essential coverage to an individual is required to send that person a copy of Form 1095-B, or in the case of large employers, Form 1095-C, and to send the same information to the IRS.
