IRS keeps rejecting my e-file tax return because form 1095-a is not included - I received unemployment in 2021 but did not buy health insurance from the ACA so do not have a form 1095-a. I answer NO to TurboTax question - "Did you buy health insurance from ACA" and keep going but when I e-file, IRS rejects the return (missing form 1095-a).
My COBRA payments were "forgiven" because of unemployment - could this be the reason for filling out Form 8962 (PTC) and requiring 1095-a?

Can you please confirm that you've logged into a Marketplace account or called the Marketplace to confirm that none of the SSN listed on your tax return had marketplace insurance at ANY time during the year and there is NO 1095-A that was or will be issued?
There are a couple of reasons why this can happen. Please try these workarounds. The first will clear the form. From time to time it will come back. Then use the second alternative.
On the menu bar on the left that shows.
The IRS is rejecting returns because they believe you or someone on your return had insurance through the marketplace. If you did have insurance through the marketplace in 2020, you may still just be on their list.
The workaround is to enter $1 for the 1095-A. 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:
Thanks so much John! Your suggestion did the trick - I contacted the Marketplace and they DID have a form1095-a available for me to download. Apparently my insurance agent had bought a policy for me from the marketplace rather than direct from the insurance company.
After I entered the information from form 1095-a, my e-file return was accepted by the IRS
Thanks again!
Regards
Ajay
