Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement
Form 1095-A is a tax form used to report information about individuals who enrolled in a health insurance marketplace and received financial assistance in the form of premium tax credits.

The form provides information about the coverage you had during the year, the monthly premium for that coverage, and the amount of financial assistance you received.
