If you have received a letter from the IRS asking for form 8962, Form 1095-A (Letter 0012C) first, please check which tax year the letter references. If your notice does not specifically ask for a recalculated page 2 of your 1040, you may disregard that part of the directions. You will only need to provide what the IRS requests in their letter.
Because you purchased your health insurance through Healthcare.gov or a state marketplace, Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit (PTC) should have been included in your return. It’s used to calculate the amount of your Premium Tax Credit and reconcile any advance payments you received to help pay your health insurance premium.

@Keedanes1
Is this for a prior year or current?
yes i did get a letter but i am still unable to pull up my form, because it says that turbotax online is not available yet until February, isnt this February .
What is the exact error message you are getting? I am unsure what you mean by "TurboTax Online isn't available until February"?
