Health Insurance

[ryskyplay12]

My son had three different med ins last year, Medi-Cal, California Care and Health Net. His taxes were rejected saying form 8962 or 1095-A needs to be done?

How do I show the 3 different on his taxes?

If a taxpayer has health insurance that is qualified under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), then that carrier should send the taxpayer a form 1095-A. After the taxpayer enters the 1095-A into TurboTax, then TurboTax will add form 8962 to the tax return. If a taxpayer is listed as having an ACA health policy, then the taxpayer must include for 8962 in the tax return or the return will be rejected on e-file.

I do not know which of these California programs are ACA-compliant policies. You might just call them one by one tomorrow and ask, and if anyone says, "yes", then ask how your son can get his 1095-A. They might have the 1095-S available online.

You/he should get 1 or 2 or 3 1095-A forms, depending on hos many of these programs are ACA compliant.

Now that I think about it, Medi-Cal is a Medicaid program, which I believe sends out a 1095-B, not -A. If you get a 1095-B or 1095-C, then these do not need to be entered in his tax return. But it won't hurt to ask them.
