Form 1095-C may be marked as corrected or void when an employer updates or withdraws previously reported coverage information. These designations reflect changes in employer reporting records and do not indicate an error or required action by the employee.
Why a Form 1095-C is corrected
A corrected Form 1095-C is issued when an employer revises information such as employment status, months of full-time employment, coverage offers, or covered individuals under a self-insured plan. Corrections typically occur after payroll, benefits, or eligibility data is finalized.
How a corrected form affects the process
When a corrected form is issued, it replaces the earlier version for reporting purposes. The employer also submits the corrected information directly to the Internal Revenue Service, ensuring that the system reflects the updated coverage record.
What a void Form 1095-C indicates
A void Form 1095-C means the previously issued form should not be used because it was generated in error. This can occur if the form was issued to the wrong individual, duplicated, or created under incorrect employment assumptions.
What recipients are not expected to do
Receiving a corrected or void Form 1095-C does not require filing the form, submitting a response, or amending a tax return solely because of the correction. The employer and the Internal Revenue Service handle the update within the reporting system.
