Availability of Form 1095-C
Form 1095-C for the 2025 tax year is available upon request. Due to a recent change in federal law (Paperwork Burden Reduction Act), Illinois State University is no longer required to automatically mail Form 1095-C to employees. However, we will gladly provide a copy to any employee who requests one. Get Details on Requesting Your Form 1095-C
Form 1095-C
All large employers are required to report offers of health coverage and enrollment in health coverage to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) via the Form 1095-C, a certificate of Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage.
Illinois State University will be issuing Form 1095-C by January 31st, unless an IRS extension is given for the tax year. Form 1095-C is filed directly with the IRS; the copy that you receive is for your information only. You should retain a copy of the form, but should not attach it when submitting your tax return. It should be placed in your records with other important tax documents.
Form 1095-C contains information about who provides the health insurance, as well as other information about the health coverage that was offered to you. It will list the lowest monthly premium that you could have elected for the self-only health benefits we offered to you.
You can use the information on Form 1095-C to verify coverage (if ever required) for each month during the year. However, taxpayers can prepare and file their returns using other information about their health insurance. Other forms of documentation that would provide proof of your insurance coverage include:
- insurance cards
- explanation of benefits
- statements from your insurer
- W-2 or payroll statements reflecting health insurance deductions
- other statements indicating that you, or a member of your family, had health care coverage
