If your company offers health insurance to your employees, there are a couple tax forms to keep in mind when filing your taxes.
A Section 125 Premium-Only-Plan (POP) document is the agreement with the IRS that allows employers and their employees enrolled in a qualified group health insurance plan to pay for health insurance premiums with pre-tax dollars.
If your benefits are managed by Gusto, we'll manage these documents at no additional charge. We'll send it to you to sign as part of the Health & Welfare Plan Document within 30 days of your plan becoming active.
To access this document, follow these steps:
Form 1095-C proves that an employee either received or was offered health insurance by their employer. The form is sometimes provided to both the employee and the IRS by the employer.
For tax filings, 1095-Cs are only required for employers that had an average of 50 or more full-time equivalent employees in the previous year.
If you had Gusto-managed benefits through the end of a tax filing year (12/31) and averaged 50+ full-time equivalent employees in the previous year, Gusto prepares the form for you and mails it at the end of the year. It will not be available in your Gusto account. If another broker manages your benefits, contact them directly for assistance with Form 1095-C.
Two tax forms are provided for employees who have an HSA:
Avidia Bank sends applicable forms directly to enrolled employees, unless you've changed your delivery preference to electronic delivery only. You can also find your forms in the Gusto Benefits Card Manager:
