Did you enroll in health insurance through NY State of Health?
If you said "you betcha," then chances are high your 1095-A is just a few clicks away. Here's the drill:- Head over to NY State of Health's website: They have a website, fancy that! (https://www.ny.gov/services/health)
- Log in to your account: Unless you're a superhero with photographic memory for passwords, this might take a moment.
- Hunt down the treasure! Look for something like "My Inbox," "Tax Forms," or "Downloadable Documents" (because who doesn't love a good treasure hunt?). There, nestled amongst other official whatnot, you should find your precious 1095-A.
Did you enroll elsewhere?
No worries, there's still hope! Contact your health insurance provider directly. They might have a downloadable version on their website, or they can send you a copy via snail mail (carrier pigeons not included).
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
