Leave all the columns blank (empty) where you did Not have healthcare coverage through the Marketplace Exchanges.

If the program continues to give you an error after leaving the columns blank, then delete the Form 1095-A.  After deleting the form, re-enter the form in the Health Insurance section manually.  Do Not import the form.

These suggestions do not work for me.  I put numbers in every month in Column A and zeroes in every month for Columns B & C just as appears on the 1095-A form.  I get "Please enter an amount" error message in every cell in Columns B & C.  If I do not enter anything in Columns B & C, I get the same error message.  I cannot advance within the system in that condition.  What does Turbo Tax advise in this case?

Select FORMS, select the Form 1095-A that you wish to edit, select the month in column B that you want to be 0, enter 0, press the TAB key.

You cannot leave it blank.  You cannot type a zero.  You cannot write zero.  You cannot skip it.  None of these answers work.

Delete the 0s from the boxes so they are blank.  Worked for me.
