You only need to say YES to Form 1095-A if you had Marketplace insurance for any day of the tax year.   Starting this year, if the IRS believes you or someone on your tax return has a 1095-A (had marketplace insurance at some point during the year), they will not accept a tax return without the form.   In prior years, you could e-file without entering the 1095-A, but your return would be delayed while they have you amend or send in the 1095-A and Form 8962.   

 

What's my state Marketplace?   If you or anyone on your return had health insurance through any provider listed in that link, you must enter your 1095-A(s) or your return will be rejected.  

 

If you had an issue with being rejected this year despite not having a Form 1095-A on file, I suggest you call either your state marketplace or healthcare.gov and correct the issue in their database before Forms 1095-A are issued next year.   The contact numbers for every state marketplace and healthcare.gov are in that link.
