Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The facts presented here are confusing. I will try to provide information to help. First, you will not get a Form 1095-A unless you had health coverage through the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) health insurance exchange. The Form 8962 is intended to resolve over and underpayments with regard to the insurance subsidy for that program. If you did not have any ACA Obamacare insurance, then you should not need Form 8962. You state that you were covered for all 12 months--6 months on employer insurance and 6 months on Medicaid. Most Medicaid programs meet requirements for minimum essential coverage under the ACA rules. So I would expect that your return would have checked the block that you had qualifying insurance for 12 months and you would be done with ACA issues. If you did not have qualifying insurance for 12 months, then Form 8965 is needed. You state that you completed, Form 8885 for Health Coverage Tax Credit. This is confusing because if you were truly on Medicaid then you are not eligible for the Health Coverage Tax Credit. Please review requirements related to the Form 8885 because I suspect that is what is causing the problem. See https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/hctc
