Information About IRS Form 1099-H and how to Claim the Yearly HCTC
The HCTC Program sends IRS Form 1099-H to individuals who received one or more monthly HCTC payments or reimbursement credits during the year.

  • IRS Form 1099-H reflects the amount the HCTC Program paid on behalf of an individual directly to their health plan. This form should be kept with the individual's records, not filed with a federal income tax return. Please note that monthly HCTC participants who have family members with their own HCTC Account Numbers and separate insurance policies, will receive one consolidated IRS Form 1099-H. This consolidated 1099-H will show the amount paid on behalf of the participant and all family members.
  • If you are a current monthly HCTC participant, but made additional payments directly to your health plan during the tax year while you were eligible for the HCTC, you can claim the Yearly HCTC for these payments.
