Every time I try to submit my taxes I receive an e-mail saying my taxes have been rejected and the following info:
"F8962-070 - The e-File database indicates that Form 8962 or a binary attachment with description containing "ACA Explanation" must be present in the return."
I did not have Marketplace Health Coverage and will not be receiving a 1095-A. Every time I click "no" to answer that question and go back and review it, my answer has been changed to "yes." I've tried MULTIPLE times today!
**I am waiting to try again on 2/3/22 as I have heard there will be a "system/software" update which should no longer cause this issue... I will update this thread with my news!**
***On 2/8/22 I followed these steps that were given on a similar thread by an "Expert" and my return was ACCEPTED. I would like to note however, following this method, you will have to "upgrade" from the free file option as this is an "extra form":
You can try to enter $1 for the 1095. This will not affect anything on your return, but having the form there may get the IRS to accept your return. To do this take the following steps:
- Click Deductions and Credits
- Scroll down to Medical and Click Show More
- Click Start or Revisit next to the ACA
- As you walk through the questions, you will be asked if you received a 1095-A. If you did NOT, click YES.
- Enter 0's for the Marketplace identifier and Policy number.
- Enter $1 for January monthly premium amount and SLCSP
- Walk through to the end and submit your return.
