1095-A Health form

The 1095-A health form provided to military retirees shows an “X” for each month covered,
However, the 1095-A Health Form of the Turbo Tax System REQUIRES a dollar amount for each
month only and will not allow you to by-pass. How do I compete this task?

As a military retiree why would you have health care coverage through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges receiving a Form 1095-A?

Look at the form you received.  Is it a Form 1095-B or a Form 1095-C?  If so, those forms are not entered on a tax return.

I checked MYPAY.gov and the form is 1095-B not A.  The military provides 1095-B as proof of health insurance.

Form 1095-B is typically issued for private insurance and not for insurance provided through the Marketplace.

As such, you would not need to enter anything on your federal return.  You might need to answer questions on your state return if you reside in a state that requires proof of health insurance.  Typically you will see these questions in the state interview section of the program.

The turbotax software state that the federal return can not be processed without a 1095-

The turbotax software state that the federal return cannot be processed without a 1095-A form being filled out.  I cannot fill the fill out the 1095-A form because I don't have the information. The government MYPAY.gov website only provides a 1095-B form.  The software does not allow you any other options.

You do not need to enter a form 1095B on your tax return.  If you entered the Affordable Care Act topic in your interview, a form 8962 was likely generated by mistake and you will need to delete it and any 1095A entries as well.  Below are the steps to delete a form in TurboTax online products.  In Desktop products use the forms mode to locate any forms 8962 and 1095A and delete them.

1. Select "Tax Tools" in the left hand menu
2. Select "Tools"
3. Select "Delete a Form"
4. Find the 8962 and any 1095A
5. "Delete" each
6. "Confirm Deletion" for each
