Form 14199: COBRA Recapture Statement

Form 14199, COBRA Recapture Statement, is a one-page IRS form that a taxpayer signs under penalties of perjury. In it the taxpayer certifies that they did not meet the requirements, as explained in the enclosed letter and Publication 502, for recapturing COBRA premium assistance for the 2009 tax year, and explains why.

The form refers to an enclosed letter, so it reaches the taxpayer together with an IRS letter, and the completed form goes back to the IRS. It asks for the taxpayer's name, Social Security number and daytime telephone number, a written reason and a signature.

The form has no separate instructions and prints no mailing address or deadline. You can fill out Form 14199 free in your browser on this page and download it without an account.
