I'm trying to amend my return to show form 8962. But we for some reason didn't get 1095-A from Covered California. What can I do?

[DoninGA]

A Form 8962 cannot be completed without the Form 1095-A.

Go to this healthcare.gov website for the 1095-A - https://www.healthcare.gov/tax-form-1095/

Use this procedure for a Form 8962 requested by the IRS -

1. Sign into your account with the same login you used when you filed your 2018 return.
2. When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.  
3. This will take you back to the 2018 online tax return.
4. Select the Federal tab
5. Select the Health Insurance tab.
6. Answer the questions about your health insurance which includes entering your 1095-A.
7. Select Tax Tools (found on the left panel), then select Print Center below it.
8. Choose Print, save, or preview this year’s return.
9. Select View or print.
10. Select Form 8962 and Form 1040 and print them.
11. Send the following to the IRS address or FAX number given in your IRS letter:

• Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit
• Copy of your Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement
• A copy of the IRS letter that you received.

Only if the refund or owed amount has changed: Also include your Form 1040

Mine isn't showing "add a state" at the bottom like the picture.  My Federal and State (California) returns were already accepted but then i got a letter saying the same thing, that i needed to turn in 1095-A and 8962. So i can't get the form.

The 2019 amendment program is available now and is easy to download ... the add the 1095-A to populate the 8962 then print it out and send with the 1095-A to the IRS as directed in the notice you got.
