Never used it or never enrolled in it? When the IRS rejects your return due to marketplace coverage, it means they are being told by the Marketplace that you had coverage through the marketplace and the policy you were on received an Advanced Premium Tax Credit.
If you never used the insurance, but you were enrolled in it, you will still have a 1095-A from the Marketplace. Whether or not you used it, does not affect if it needs to be reported. If you did not receive the 1095-A, you can contact the Marketplace to get your form. You will then enter it on your return by selecting the following:
Federal
Deductions and Credits
Medical
Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A)
Also, if you were covered on a policy that someone else was the primary policy holder (such as your parents- who no longer claim you as a dependent) you will need to enter their form on your return (even if you never used the insurance). If this is the case, then after you enter the 1095-A on your return, you will need to select I shared this policy with another tax payer. You will then be given the opportunity to allocate the policy between you and the other taxpayer. This number can be any number between 0% to 100% as long as you and the other party agree to that percentage and it adds up to 100%. If you cannot agree, then you would split it based on the number of people on the policy (ex. 2 people=50%, 4 people=25%)
If you have other coverage and you are enrolled because you are on someone else's policy, then you will need to have them remove you from the policy.
If you NEVER ENROLLED in marketplace insurance, you will need to contact the Marketplace to find out why they are reporting to the IRS that you did have insurance through them.
