I had just dropped off my IRS and NYS tax stull the other day for my tax person and found letter from VA, that said on the envelope For Your Records Only, Important Tax information Enclosed, Do not Return.
It is a 1095B IRS form that states I was covered all 12 months in 2015 by the VA (CHAMPVA), and that "beginning in 2016, the Affordable Care Act" requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to notify eligible family members of their period of health coverage during the previous calendar year.The law also requires VA to provide this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
The letter goes on to say to follow IRS instructions, as applicable on the back of the form,( for IRS filings for 2016 as far as I know) but then states
"Annual enrollment in VA Health Care satisfies the ACA'a health care coverage requirement."
Basically I think it means, if you get the form hold onto it for next year and give to your tax person or handle it the way your self prepared return instructions tell you to. maybe???
