Without further input, I'm not sure whether to call this a bug or a feature, but at least I don't have to override the field. Since it's now blank (zero), I just totaled the three amounts on my own and used that sum for Line 15. I'm guessing that this is the correct way to handle it (that is, I'm not overpaying AZ).   Presuming I'm right, it is a cautionary tale to those unfamiliar with those nuances of state tax laws.

Yes, the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) provides this 1095-B form to verify that you had "minimum essential coverage."   You do not need to file this form with your taxes (just keep it for your records; if you received a 1095-A, then you would need to file that).   The state will send this information  (your 1095-B) to the IRS electronically.   If you didn't receive your 1095-B form in the mail or need a copy, you can get it by: Log into your account at wahealthplanfinder.org. Go to your Message Center or look for the "View 1095 Forms" link on your dashboard. You can also call the Medical Assistance Customer Service Center at 1-800-562-3022 to request a copy. And finally, you can use the Apple Health contact form and select "1095-B" from the drop-down menu.  

I am not an accountant, I only poked around until I found a way to make the error disappear.  IDK if they are aware of the issue or not. The latest update did not make anything any clearer.  That's all I know. Best wishes and good luck:)  

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 26.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-26  to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

The identity restoration protection is offered under MAX. What's MAX? This service offers the identity restoration protection as an extra protection for you against scammers that may use your Social Security number for refunds or filing fraudulent returns. This service will provide you a specialist to recover your identity if you become a victim of tax fraud. It will cover your whole family.    You can also get a free Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) directly from the IRS website to prevent any unauthorized filings of your tax return.  This is in addition to the security coverage that is already built into TurboTax. You can purchase it when you are filing by your tax return by selecting the MAX Defend & Restore bundle or you can add it as an option in the final review steps.

The 831 loss carryover can be carried forward into any year in which section 831(b) still applies to the company.  If at any point the company stops being qualified or changes to stop meeting the qualifications the loss carryforward is lost.  It can't skip intervening years.
