What’s going on with Form 1095-A?
Starting in 2026, the IRS demands Form 1095-A for anyone on a Marketplace health plan—it proves you got premium tax credits and helps settle any advance payments. Kaiser Permanente sends this form to members who bought coverage through Kaiser or any Marketplace plan. Without it, you’ll hit a wall when you file federal taxes or try to claim that Premium Tax Credit.
Did you have Kaiser insurance in 2025 and sign up via the Marketplace (Covered California, for example)? Kaiser will mail you Form 1095-A or drop it in your online account. The IRS gets a copy too, so any mismatch can slow down your refund or even trigger an audit if you don’t square things away.
How to grab your 1095-A in four steps
- Sign into Kaiser Permanente online
- Fire up kp.org.
- Plug in your Member ID and password. Forgot them? Hit “Forgot username or password?” and reset in two minutes.
- Find the tax documents section
- From the main dashboard, click My coverage and costs.
- Look for My documents—it’s usually top-right or tucked under “Documents & messages.”
- Download Form 1095-A
- In the Tax documents area, hunt down your 2025 Form 1095-A.
- Click the download link to grab the PDF. Still missing it? Peek in your spam folder or your inbox for Kaiser’s “Your 2025 Tax Form is Ready” email.
- Print it and keep it safe
- Open the PDF and hit print—one copy for your files.
- Tuck it with your tax paperwork for at least three years; the IRS might ask to see it later.

Stop scrambling next year—set yourself up now
Want to avoid the 1095-A scramble come tax time? A little prep goes a long way:
- Turn on digital alerts in Kaiser
- Log in to kp.org, then hit Account settings → Notifications.
- Toggle on email alerts so you know the moment tax docs are ready.
- Save a digital copy right after you enroll
- Once you’re signed up for a Kaiser Marketplace plan, download Form 1095-A as soon as it appears (usually by mid-January).
- Rename the file something clear like “Kaiser 1095-A 2025” and stash it in the cloud or on an external drive.
- Double-check your mailing address
- Make sure Kaiser has your current address so the paper copy actually reaches you. Update it on kp.org or by calling Member Services.
- Moved mid-year? Confirm Kaiser sent the form to your new place.
- Cross-check with the IRS portal
- Starting in 2026, the IRS offers a secure portal where you can view and download all tax forms sent to you, including Form 1095-A. Log in to make sure nothing’s missing.
