your taxes. You should have received this form in the mail already. If you have an online account, Form 1095-A should be there too. If you didn’t receive a 1095-A, contact the Marketplace Call Center.For specific forms and step-by-step instructions, choose the situation that best applies to you to learn about health coverage and your 2016 federal taxes.
