It’s tax time — be on the lookout for your W-2 and 1095-C forms 

By Jan. 23, employees who consented to receive an electronic Form W-2 should be able to access it through myUFL or the ONE.UF application.  Those who did not consent or who separated from UF more than eighteen months ago should receive their printed tax forms by mail soon after Jan. 30.  

In addition to filing your W-2, the IRS requires reporting of health insurance coverage information for the 2025 federal income tax reporting year. While it is not necessary to include Form 1095-C with your tax return, you will need to include your insurance information.
