Employee Share (Form 1095-C, Line 15)

Complete Line 15 only if code 1B, 1C, 1D, or 1E is entered on Line 14 (source: www.irs.gov)

Line 15. Complete line 15 only if code 1B, 1C, 1D, or 1E is entered on line 14 either in the “All 12 Months” box or in any of the monthly boxes. Enter the amount of the employee share of the lowest-cost monthly premium for self-only minimum essential coverage providing minimum value that is offered to the employee. Enter the amount including any cents. For purposes of determining the monthly employee contribution, an employer may divide the total employee share of the premium for the plan year by the number of months in the plan year to determine the monthly employee contribution for the plan year. This monthly employee contribution would then be reported for any months of that plan year that fall in the 2015 calendar year. For example, if the plan year begins January 1, the employer may determine the amount to report for each month by taking the total annual employee contribution for all 12 months and dividing by 12. If the plan year begins April 1, the employer may determine the amount to report for January through March, 2015 by taking the total annual employee contribution for the plan year ending March 31, 2015, and dividing by 12, and may determine the amount to report for April through December, 2015 by taking the total annual employee contribution for the plan year ending March 31, 2016, and dividing by 12. If the employee is offered coverage but is not required to contribute any amount towards the premium, enter “0.00” (do not leave blank). If the employee share of the lowest-cost monthly premium amount was the same amount for all 12 calendar months, enter that monthly amount in each monthly box or enter that monthly amount in the “All 12 Months” box and do not complete the monthly boxes. If the employee share of the lowest-cost monthly amount was not the same for all 12 months, enter the amount in each calendar month for which the employee was offered minimum value coverage.

For line 15, enter the lowest-cost monthly premium for self-only minimum essential coverage providing minimum value that is offered to the employee. This amount may not be the amount the employee is paying for the coverage, for example, if the employee chose to enroll in more expensive coverage such as family coverage.
