Purpose-built for MA 1099-HC
A focused workflow for Massachusetts health coverage reports
Form MA 1099-HC is used by Massachusetts residents for Schedule HC health insurance information. Reporting parties may need to prepare a separate set of records for the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.
Spreadsheet intake
Gather subscriber identities, plan information, and coverage months in one consistent source file. A sample intake template is available below.
Quality review
Check reporting years, missing coverage indicators, duplicate subscriber references, and source completeness before state-file preparation.
Massachusetts XML workflow
State bulk files require a Massachusetts-specific XML layout. Production XML export must be implemented and tested against the current DOR specification.
Demo available: The dedicated MA 1099-HC setup program can now be downloaded. Demo operation is for evaluation; registration and filing-year XML compatibility must be confirmed before production use. The free browser intake checker is a separate preparation aid.

Massachusetts 1099-HC filing: what to know
Who needs to prepare Form MA 1099-HC?
Health insurance carriers generally provide forms to primary subscribers and report coverage to Massachusetts DOR. Some employers, including self-insured employers, may have reporting responsibilities when the insurer is not filing on their behalf.
- Massachusetts form—not the federal Form 1095-B or 1095-C
- Primary subscriber statements are generally due by January 31 of the following year
- Bulk electronic state reporting uses XML
- Check reporting obligations and current deadlines for your specific filer and tax year
Where the file goes
Bulk Form 1099-HC reports are submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue through MassTaxConnect. The state also provides individual online entry and a limited Excel-template route for eligible filings of 1,000 records or fewer.
The state says its bulk XML format is separate from IRS information-return filing. An IRS IRIS CSV will not serve as the MA 1099-HC XML transmission.

Not the same as IRS 1099 software
MA 1099-HC has its own data and XML reporting format. We recommend treating it as a distinct annual software product rather than implying it is included in the standard federal 1099ERICH package.
Need IRS Form 1095-B or 1095-C instead? These are federal ACA workflows. 1095-B software and 1095-C software have their own pages.
This product inquiry does not collect subscriber names, Social Security numbers, medical details, or completed tax files. Please do not email sensitive client data.
Frequently asked questions
1099-HC software questions
Is Massachusetts Form 1099-HC the same as IRS Form 1095-C?
No. MA 1099-HC reports Massachusetts health coverage information and is a state DOR workflow. Federal ACA Form 1095-C is a different return with an IRS AIR filing process.
Can I upload an IRS IRIS CSV to Massachusetts for Form 1099-HC?
No. DOR specifies XML for bulk 1099-HC uploads through MassTaxConnect. The CSV intake checker on this site is only for organizing and reviewing source data.
Can a small employer submit Form 1099-HC without bulk XML software?
Depending on the submission, DOR offers online record entry or import using its Excel template, limited to 1,000 Form 1099-HC records. Review the current instructions in MassTaxConnect.
Can I download and test 1099-HC software?
Yes. Download the MA 1099-HC Windows demo to evaluate the program. The demo is not authorization to file. Confirm the licensed release and Massachusetts DOR XML compatibility for your filing year before submitting actual data.
Do you electronically submit MA 1099-HC on my behalf?
The $199 figure is a recommended software-license price, not a filed-return service. Contact ERICH Incorporated to discuss whether separate filing assistance is available.

Separate purchasing options
Choose the Windows software if you will prepare your own state files, or purchase the transmission service if you want ERICH to submit on your behalf. The items are priced and billed separately; contact us about secure data transfer before purchasing the service.
