Deductions & credits

For any month that you had Marketplace insurance and have an amount in column A of Form 1095-A, then the amount in column B can't be zero for purposes of completing your tax return. You must enter the Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan (SLCSP). The SLCSP is the second-lowest priced health insurance plan in the Silver category that was available when you applied for insurance at Healthcare Marketplace. 

 

You can use the Health coverage tax tool to get the SLCSP amount if it is not on your Form 1095-A.

 

For months you didn't have insurance, you can leave the columns blank.

 

See this article for more information about the Premium Tax Credit. 

 

TurboTax will automatically fill out Form 8962 once you enter your Form 1095-A.
