Faculty and staff can consent starting Nov. 27 to receive their Form 1095 tax document electronically.
Form 1095 verifies that the university offered 2023 health care benefits to an eligible employee. U-M is required to verify these offers, even if eligible employees did not enroll in health care benefits.

Some tax preparers require a Form 1095 for federal returns, and it is beneficial to retain for personal records. U-M is required to provide copies of the Form 1095 in electronic or hard copy format as part of the federal Affordable Care Act.
The university’s goal is to safeguard the confidentiality and security of private information. Electronic delivery ensures access in a safe, convenient manner.
