Thank you Amy. I reached out to the Marketplace and they confirmed that I have not been covered since 2000, and that there would be no form coming.

Great! Ok, since you did have it years ago or maybe you went into the area, there may be a ghost form in there. Try this:

Go back to the Health care section
Your default answer is still set to yes but the 8962 and 1095A are not part of the return.
Select yes and verify the form is blank, hit the back button.
Now you will not be prompted with the yes/no question to receiving the 1095A and will see your entry with options to edit/delete the entry.
Delete the 1095A entry and both the 1095A and 8962 are removed from the return.
Check again that it is really deleted by looking at your forms. See How to Delete
If you revisit the section again default will be yes but the forms are removed
Now, select No, efile your return, and
if you are rejected, then the IRS requires your 1095A in the return and you will need to mail it.
