The Department of Revenue has released its draft Schedule HC (HC for Health Care), the tax form people will use to indicate compliance with the health insurance individual mandate.
DOR is asking for comments on the draft. You care read more about DOR’s role in health reform, the draft schedule, and how to submit comments here.
The form is fairly straightforward. It’s clear the designers struggled to keep it to 2 pages. The affordability and lowest premiums available tables will be included in the instructions, which are not yet online. We won’t get a sense of how daunting this will be for people until we see the instructions. DOR needed to get the form out, so that it can be approved in time for tax software firms to include it in their tax packages.
We’d encourage people to send their comments to DOR, and use the comments here to share their thoughts.
