File Form 1099-H, Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) Advance Payments, if you received any advance payments during the calendar year of qualified health insurance payments for the benefit of eligible trade adjustment assistance (TAA), Reemployment TAA, or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) pension recipients and their qualifying family members.
Section 6050T requires that if you are a provider of qualified health insurance coverage (defined in section 35(e)) and you receive advance payments from the Department of the Treasury on behalf of eligible recipients pursuant to section 7527, you must file Forms 1099-H to report those advance payments. You must also furnish a statement reporting that information to the eligible recipient.
However, Notice 2004-47, 2004-29 I.R.B. 48, available at www.irs.gov/irb/2004-29_IRB/ar11.html, provides that the HCTC Transaction Center, as an administrator of the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC), will file the required returns and furnish statements to the recipients unless you elect to file and furnish information returns and statements on your own. Contact the HCTC Transaction Center for this purpose by calling 1-866-628-4282. Unless you notify the HCTC Transaction Center of your intent to file information returns and furnish statements, you will be considered to have elected to have the Transaction Center file Form 1099-H and furnish statements to recipients in satisfying section 6050T filing requirements.
If you are required to file Form 1099-H, a statement must be furnished to the recipient. The Transaction Center will furnish a copy of Form 1099-H or an acceptable substitute statement to each recipient on your behalf, unless you elect to file Form 1099-H and furnish the copy or substitute statement yourself. Also, see part M in the 2013 General Instructions for Certain Information Returns.
