Form 1099-SA - Distribution From a Medicare Advantage MSA
1
Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans) is another way to get your Medicare benefits. It combines Part A, Part B, and sometimes Part D (prescription drug) coverage. Medicare Advantage Plans are managed by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans must cover medically necessary services.

Medicare C is reported on Form 1099-SA, Distributions from an HSA, Archer MSA, or Medicare Advantage MSA. The amount included in income is the amount not used to pay medical expenses. Generally, if you receive a taxable distribution, you must also pay an additional tax on the amount included in income. The additional tax for Medicare Advantage MSAs is 50%. See the SSA Who can get Medicare? publication for details.
