I contacted a Turbo Tax rep but she was not much help. Not sure how much she really understood the problem and she is not allowed to give tax advice. She said we could try and modify the numbers we enter in Column A, B, or C. No real commitment to fix the issue.
So, I tried entering different amounts in columns A and C and the result was not a Premium health credit amount of $0.00. I then entered $0.00 in Column B for each month, I got the same message saying you can't enter $0.00. So, I entered, $0.01 for each month (which it allowed) and the result was a Premium Tax Credit of $0.00. Note, Column C is still shown as $0.00.
Summary,
- Column A is the same numbers as the 1095-A
- Column B is listed as $0.01 instead of $0.00
- Column C is same numbers ($0.00) as the 1095-A
Both forms 1095-A and 8962 are now in the Turbo Tax list of files. So we don't have an issue with the tax return getting rejected for not submitting the 1095-A document. We did make a slight modification to Column B ($0.01 vs $0.00) but that resulted in a Premium Tax Credit of $0.00 (which is what we want)
