Your Massachusetts Department of Revenue income tax filing will ask for data that is included on the MA 1099-HC form. If you were insured through Blue Cross for all 12 months of the tax year, the "Full Year Coverage" box will be checked off. If you were insured through Blue Cross for less than 12 months, only the months that you had at least 15 days of health insurance will be checked off.
