Deductions & credits

You don't need to enter a 1095-B in TurboTax.

 

If anyone on your return had a 1095-A last year, and you used TurboTax, the program may be looking for a 1095-A entry.

 

If you received Error Code F8962-070, here's a workaround to try:

 

"There was an update with available information on Error Code F8962-070  today.  The IRS is rejecting returns with this code because they believe you or someone on your return had insurance through the marketplace. If you or anyone in your tax household had Marketplace insurance last year, you  may still just be on their list.

 

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. "

If this does not apply to you, please clarify the Error Message you receive and we'll try to help.
