IRS Form 1099-H, titled "Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) Advance Payments," is sent to those taxpayers who received advance monetary disbursements from healthcare programs. This eHow is written from the point of view of the entity filling out the 1099-H, not the person receiving it.

From Quick Guide: IRS Form 1099
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Call (800) TAX-FORM or visit the IRS online form ordering website (see resources below) to obtain acceptable copies of Form 1099-H to send to recipients. Although Form 1099-H is available for viewing online, the e-version of the form is unacceptable to send to taxpayers or the Internal Revenue Service.

  2. Step 2

    Check the "Void" or "Corrected" box at the top of the 1099 form if applicable. Enter the Issuer's/Provider's name, street address, city, state, ZIP code and telephone number in the first box. The Issuer/Provider is the organization or entity that disbursed the healthcare advance(s).

  3. Step 3

    Enter the Issuer's/Provider's Federal identification number and the Recipient's identification number (usually a Social Security number) in the two boxes beneath the first box. Below this, list the Recipient's name, street address (including apartment number), city, state and ZIP code.

  4. Step 4

    Show the total amount of HCTC advance payments of qualified health insurance costs that were paid on your behalf in Box 1. In Box 2, indicate the total number of months you actually received advance HCTC payments. In Boxes 3 through 14, list the individual HCTC amounts you received per month; Box 3 is for the January information and Box 14 lists the December information.

  5. Step 5

    File Form 1099-H with the IRS; also send a copy to the recipient. Check the IRS official website (see resources below) for specific instructions as to the filing deadline for Form 1099-H; it changes annually.
