No 2016 Form 1095-B from bankrupt health insurance provider. What to do?

[rmcgrobi]

Hi, Client had health coverage, through her employer, from a now defunct health insurance provider. She was covered Jan - Apr 2016. Then the employer changed providers and client has From 1095B for May - Dec. What can I do about reporting the health insurance coverage for the whole year? Shouldn't the defunct provider have to provide the 1095s to the employees and the IRS? Thanks to any and all who can assist me with this conundrum. Robi

Ask for other documentation of coverage, i.e, insurance card, paystub deductions, etc. Most people aren't waiting for any outstanding 1095-C's at this late date.

I agree TP should get a written document from the employer that explains what happened.
