It’s almost that time of year again – income tax time. Some of us groan, others cheer all the way to the bank. But no matter if you get a refund or if you owe, we all have to answer the a new, sometimes anxiety -ridden question on the forms, “Do you have health insurance coverage?”
Last year I clicked the box with no hesitation – being on my husband’s employers health insurance plan was simple; it was affordable, we had a great HSA savings plan, and all seemed right with the world. I checked the box and moved on. However this year we find ourselves without any health insurance coverage – so where does it leave us??
For a majority of taxpayers, reporting their health insurance coverage this year, will be a lot like last year – like I did, you just check a box and that’s it. If you have insurance through an employer, government program, or private insurance company you may receive a 10-95 B or C form. You don’t need to send any copies in, or wait for them to file your taxes – since not everyone will get one – so they are for your records only. (So yes, definitely put in the KEEP not PITCH pile, file them away with your other important documents).
People who purchased a health insurance plan through healthcare.gov (or your state health care marketplace) you will receive a 1095-A Form, which will just confirm your coverage, premiums and subsidies you received to pay for your health insurance. When filing your taxes online through TurboTax, you enter the info much like you do your W-2. Enter all the details onto the site, and TurboTax takes care of the rest.
For the rest of us who will have to check the ‘no’ box under health insurance coverage this year, TurboTax does offer assistance to help you easily understand if you qualify for assistance to pay for health insurance, if you qualify for exemptions for going without insurance, and whether you will be responsible for a penalty – and how much- if you choose not to purchase health coverage.
TurboTax offers a plethora of free suite tools to help you understand how the ACA will affect their taxes, and the best thing of all? TurboTax doesn’t charge tax payers any extra feesfor health care-related forms!
So no matter if you are insured, uninsured, or in between TurboTax makes it easy to fill out all the necessary forms required – it’s so simple to answer the questions with a few clicks, you could even do it on your smartphone or tablet!

The first time I ever saw an alpaca product I was at a festival where a small business owner was trying to get her business off the ground – I had never heard of using alpaca hair to knit/sew, so I was sorta’ kinda’ completely amazed at how soft and warm it was. Where had alpaca products been all my life??
When searching for a company that offers a wide array of selection using this fine fiber, I found SOL ALPACA had recently opened their online store to offer the world their products.

If you pay any attention to my social media accounts, I have been obsessed with my coffee lately. I’ve been trying to be a bit more frugal and make my fancy coffee drinks from home, instead of buying them out (have you really ever paid attention to how much money those suckers cost? Times that by 5x a week, and you’re looking at a pretty good chunk of change).
I love the dark roast to use in my hot mocha latte recipe. The breakfast blend is yummy as well (along with their other great flavors), but I prefer a bit richer, bolder flavor since I’m mixing other ingredients into my drink.
The recipe I use is super simple,because well, I don’t have time to be all fancy and complicated. I start off making 1 (or sometimes 2 depending on my need for caffeine that day) Community Coffee K-Cups.
In my travel mug I mix 1 tablespoon cocoa & 1 packet sweet n’ low together. (or your other favorite sugar substitute) add a few tablespoons of your coffee so you can stir the cocoa in and make sure it’s completely dissolved. Then pour in the remaining coffee – then you will want to foam the milk and pour slowly over the hot mocha (no specific amount, whatever you desire) and then if you want you can garnish with some cocoa powder, but I prefer non-fat whipped cream 😉
Community Coffee offers a great array of gift baskets perfect for any coffee lover in your life – I have ordered a few of these for family members out of state – I mean, who wouldn’t love the gift of coffee??
