Berta, Interestingly enough, you do not need this form to file your taxes. A copy of this form was sent by CHAMPVA to the IRS. Simply check the box on one line of your income tax return indicating that you and your dependents had health insurance the entire year. Earlier this year when I called 1-800-733-8387, CHAMPVA's phone number, I got a recording stating that mailing of the form had been delayed and that I did not need the form to file my taxes. Accordingly, I was looking at the instructions for my 1040 very carefully tried to figure out how to indicate that I had health insurance on my income taxes.
