HEALTH INSURANCE AND YOUR TAX RETURN

Starting January 2021, due to recent tax law changes1, if you either bought your health plan on our Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) website2 or got your BCBSOK health plan through your job3, the IRS says you no longer need Form 1095-B to file your federal income taxes.
