What Information should I report in Line 16 of Form 1095-C?

Line 16 of Form 1095-C is used to report the information about the employees’ eligibility for health coverage and the coverage status for each month of the calendar year. 

The following are the available codes in Code Series 2 that you (employer) can choose to enter in line 16 of Form 1095-C. If the same code applies for all 12 calendar months, you may enter it in the “All 12 Months” box. You can also leave the monthly boxes blank if none of the codes apply for a calendar month.
