Do you have a dependent on your return that was covered by insurance through the Marketplace? If so, then you would need to include their 1095-A on your return, even if you did not pay the insurance. If you do not pay it, you would simply allocate 0% on your return.
When you are rejected for not filing form 8962, it is because IRS records show you or a dependent on your return had insurance through the marketplace.
If you or no one on your return definitely did NOT have coverage through the Marketplace at anytime in 2021, then you can go to your 1095-A section in TurboTax and enter $1 for the January Premium amount and the SLCSP. This will generate the form, but not affect your taxes. It will let the IRS then update their records.
To enter $1 for the 8962 select the following:
- Deductions and Credits
- Show more next to Medical
- Start or Revisit next to ACA
- Answer YES to did you receive a 1095-A
- Enter 0's for the Marketplace Identifiers and Policy numbers
- Enter $1 for January Premium and SLCSP. Do not enter anything for the PTC
- Continue through and submit your return.
