  • Proceed through the Health Insurance interview. Indicate that you had coverage all year (since you had marketplace coverage for 8 months and employer-sponsored coverage for the other 4 months). 
  • Continue through the interview and answer the marketplace questions:
    • Were you enrolled in any of these less common plans in 2016? Yes
    • What type of plan were you enrolled inObamacare plan (1095-A) 
    • Do you have a 1095-A form to enter for your Obamacare plan? Yes 
  • Next, enter the information from your Form 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace Statement)
  • Continue answering the questions in the Health Insurance section.
