Some Covered California members received a version of IRS Form 1095-A that contained inaccuracies. In order to communicate this, Covered California will be mailing out a postcard to those consumers informing them of the inconsistencies and making them aware that a corrected version of IRS Form 1095-A will be issued to them for tax filing purposes.
In order to meet the Federal deadline of the 1095 Form being post marked no later than 2/2, approximately 100k 1095s had to be sent with defects before they could be fixed.
As a result, a post card is being sent to the 100k consumers with the following language: “You recently received an IRS Form 1095-A from Covered California. We are writing to tell you that we discovered a problem with the information on your original form. Covered California is in the process of updating the information and will send you a corrected IRS Form 1095-A within the next couple of weeks.
Please use the corrected IRS Form 1095-A information when filing your federal income tax or amending your federal income tax if you have already filed your tax return. The corrected IRS Form 1095-A will have a checkbox marked as corrected at the top of the form.
You can also log into your CoveredCA.com account and go to your secured mailbox to download a copy of your corrected Form 1095-A once it becomes available.
If you have questions or have not received your corrected IRS Form 1095-A by midFebruary, please call the Covered California Consumer Service Center at 1-800-300- 1506 Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM; Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM.”
