MNSURE TAX FORMS
Your MNsure tax form: which one you get and what to do with it.
If you had a private health plan through MNsure, you get Form 1095-A. You need it to file your taxes, and if you got tax credits, it is used to check them on IRS Form 8962. People with Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare may get a Form 1095-B instead, which shows you had coverage. A MinnAssist navigator helps you find the right form and keep your coverage set up right, free. Book at minnassist.com/book or call (866) 655-6606.
Which form is which
- 1095-A: for private plans bought through MNsure. You need it to file your federal taxes.
- Form 8962: the IRS form that uses your 1095-A to check the tax credits you got against your real income.
- 1095-B: shows you had coverage like Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare.
Why your income report matters
Tax credits are based on the income you expect. If your income changes and you don't report it, you could owe money back at tax time. Report changes as they happen. See how to report changes.
