After you file

If you didn’t have coverage through the marketplace and didn’t receive a 1095-A and the system keeps coming back to “Yes” then this isn’t a defect, it’s a form still hanging on in the return.  It may be hung from a prior year or an incorrect answer but it’s hung in there nonetheless -

  • When you revisit the section on “Do You Have a 1095-A?” the default answer is still set to yes but the 8962 and 1095A are not part of the return.
  • If you select “Yes” you will be prompted to enter the 1095A information and you cannot continue leaving the full form blank as an error will be presented.
  • Now you will not be prompted with the yes/no question to receiving the 1095A and will see your entry with options to edit/delete the entry.
  • Delete the 1095A entry and both the 1095A and 8962 are removed from the return.
  • If you revisit the section again default will be yes, but the forms are removed
  • Now, select No, efile your return, and if you are rejected, then the IRS requires your 1095A in the return.  (Here’s the article on that rejection.)
