Thank you SO much for responding to me, AJ. You were extremely helpful. I went back through the "amend" section to reread the 1095-A health insurance tax credits section for the 40th time. I answered yes to this question when I should have answered no:
Were you covered by any of these plans in 2017?
- Healthcare.gov plan
- Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare)
- Connect for Health Colorado
- A plan that sent or will send a 1095-A
- Another state's Marketplace plan
My medicaid came through Connect for Health Colorado but I didn't realize it's still a "no" if you have medicaid through it. I guess when I filled out and submitted the 8885, I might have filled out information from my employer insurance I previously had for the first half of the year, by mistake.
So after googling what I should do now, I'm getting conflicting information. Some people are saying to go ahead and amend the return through turbotax (the amount at the top says $0 and turbotax is saying that means nothing's changed with my original return amount?), some are saying that the IRS will either find the error or automatically send out an adjusted return without the 8885 form/credit, and some suggestions are to call the IRS and tell them I filed an 8885 form by mistake and adjust it through them because it is/could be an easy fix and you don't want to go through an amended return. Do you have a suggestion on how to proceed?
