Obamacare open enrollment starts on Nov. 15. Most people won’t be able to purchase health insurance until then. However, there are some “qualifying life events” that will qualify you for something called a “special enrollment period,” enabling you to shop for and purchase health insurance sooner.
If you’re uninsured, you may be required to pay a penalty on your 2014 taxes. Here’s a guide to Obamacare and your 2014 taxes. These are the new forms you should be aware of:
Form 1095-A: If you purchased health insurance through your state exchange or the federal Marketplace, you will receive this form indicating your coverage.
Form 1095-B: This form will come directly from the health insurance company if you sought private insurance outside of the state exchanges.
Form 1095-C: If your employer furnishes your health insurance, it will provide you with a 1095-C indicating your coverage.
