After you file

If you're being rejected for a missing or incomplete 1095-A it is because the IRS thinks you or someone on your return had a Marketplace health policy for some part of the 2023 tax year.

 

 First confirm that you, or any others listed on your return were not covered by a Marketplace policy. You may be able to find a 1095-A form by signing in to your healthcare.gov account and downloading it.  

 

Once your confident that you did not get a 1095-A, you can try to delete the form.

To delete a Form in the Online version:

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
    1. My Info
    2. Federal
    3. State
    4. Review
    5. File
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
  4. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form
  5. This will give you all of the forms in your return.
  6. Scroll down to Form 1095-A
  7. Select the Form
  8. Click on Delete.
  9. Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.

If this didn’t work, go into your return and make sure that you checked that you didn’t get a 1095-A.

  • Start with Federal Taxes 
  • Click on Deductions and Credits
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Medical.

  • Indicate that you did not get a 1095-A

Finally, if all else fails:

You can try to enter $1 for 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: 

  • Use the same steps above, but indicate that you did get a 1095-A
  • Post $1 for January This will not change your tax return.
