We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I filed my return but accidentally clicked "yes" on the box that asked if I required a 1095-A. Now, I have tried to go back and hit no, but return keeps rejecting.

I have gone back in 4 times now and tried to fix the return, but have had zero luck and it just keeps getting rejected.

I filed my return but accidentally clicked "yes" on the box that asked if I required a 1095-A. Now, I have tried to go back and hit no, but return keeps rejecting.

Please try these instructions below to first delete the blank 1095A/8962 forms and then select "NO" for receiving a 1095A.   

 

  • When revisiting the section the default answer is still set to "Yes," but the 8962 and 1095A are not part of the return.
  • If you select "Yes" you will be prompted to enter the 1095A information and you cannot continue leaving the full form blank as an error will be presented.
  • Now you will not be prompted with the "Yes/No" question to receiving the 1095A and will see your entry with options to edit/delete the entry.
  • Delete the 1095A entry and both the 1095A and 8962 are removed from the return.
  • If you revisit the section again default will be "Yes," but the forms are removed
  • Now, select No. You should be able to e-file your return now

 

 

Please be aware, it does revert to "yes" if you revisit that section.  Once you have gone through the steps above, please do not go back to that section and the answer will remain as "No".

  

You can also go to "Delete a form" to verify there is no form 8962 or 1095A showing.  It should not be there.  If it is, then delete the form:

 

  1. In the left menu, select "Tax Tools" and then "Tools".
  2. In the pop-up window Tool Center, select "Delete a form".
  3. Select "Delete" next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions

 

If you still get rejected then you can try Vanessa A solution and enter $1 for the 1095.  This will not affect anything on your return, but having the form there may get the IRS to accept your return.  To do this take the following steps:

 

  • Click Deductions and Credits
  • Scroll down to Medical and Click Show More
  • Click Start or Revisit next to the ACA
  • As you walk through the questions, you will be asked if you received a 1095-A.  If you did NOT, click YES.
  • Enter 0's for the Marketplace identifier and Policy number.
  • Enter $1 for January monthly premium amount and SLCSP
  • Walk through to the end and submit your return.
