Question: What is a corrected Form 1095-A?

Answer: Corrected versions of Form 1095-A will be generated if certain data elements are updated by the Marketplace. Consumers will also receive a "corrected" Form if they request that their Form be mailed to an updated mailing address, although only the mailing address on the cover page will be updated since there is no mailing address included in the actual Form 1095-A. This will occur even though no data elements on the Form1095-A (PDF and IRS submission) will have changed (Form 1095-A contains only a permanent address, not a mailing address). When data elements on Form 1095-A are corrected or consumers' mailing addresses are updated, the Marketplace will mail consumers a corrected Form 1095-A and post the corrected form to consumers' online accounts. The corrected Form 1095-A PDF will have the "corrected" check box marked and an updated record will also be sent to the IRS. The corrected Form 1095-A will not indicate which data element was corrected. When a corrected Form 1095-A is generated, consumers will also receive an electronic notification (depending on communication preferences) that the corrected Form 1095-A (including the cover page, Form 1095-A instructions, and language taglines) has been posted to their online accounts.
