After you file

You can not add copies of your Form 1095-A into TurboTax to file with your tax return. You can try the instructions for entering your Form 1095-A  below. You can also try deleting your Form 1095-A and re-entering them.

 

Don't enter zeros for your 1095-A entries.  If you have a zero leave that space blank. You may have to delete your Form 1095-A and reenter it. I have provided the instructions below.

 

You can also try clearing your cache and cookies, going out of the program and coming back in, or deleting the form and re-entering it, to see if that helps.

 

When there is no amount (zero) in columns B and C of the Form 1095-A, this means that you did not receive any advance payments of the premium tax credit (APTC). This generally occurs when the Marketplace determines you are ineligible for the premium tax credit at enrollment because your income was outside of the eligibility range or if you declined to receive APTC instead preferring to claim the credit on your return.

 

If you are entering Column B, and have a zero, you may have an error on your Form 1095-A.

 

Column B contains information about your "second lowest cost silver plan" (SLCSP) premium.

 

If column B. in Part III "Coverage Information" has a $0 or is blank for any month someone in your household had coverage from the marketplace, this is likely an error.

 

If you think this is the case you can use  the tax tool from Healthcare.gov to determine the premium for your SLCSP.  If the number is not correct, it will provide a  wrong calculation of your premium tax credit.
