What do I do if I am entering an amount that I know is correct, but TurboTax thinks it is wrong?

It's on my 1095-A Form, my Health Insurance Marketplace Statement. I receive health insurance through the government, and also am allotted a premium tax credit each month. There was a month where I was not insured, so my "A. Monthly enrollment premiums, B. Monthly second lowest cost silver plan premium, and C. Monthly advance payment of premium tax credit" were all $0.00. TT is not detecting a issue with A or B, but it claims that on C I need to "delete the zero." I do that, and it states that the same issue is detected. I've tried every format possible (blank, $0, $0.0, $0.00) and nothing works. This amount is absolutely correct, but it will not accept my entry and is preventing me from filing.

You have not told us what document you are trying to enter or what amount is "zero"---but try leaving it blank instead of entering a zero,

Hi,

Sorry, didn't know how specific I needed to be, or how much personal info I should divulge.

Leave the spaces blank for those months when you were not covered. This should resolve your issue.

To edit your 1095-A form:

Open your tax return, in the search box, type 1095-a and hit Enter key, select Jump to 1095-a link
Remove the zeroes in the rows with only zeroes.
