I just received my 1095A in the mail. My only income is social security. Do I have to file this even though I don't have to file income tax due to my only income.

It depends.  If you received Form 1095-A, which is issued to report Marketplace Health Insurance coverage, then you may need to file a tax return.  Look at Column C on the form.  If there are dollar amounts listed, then this means you received assistance towards your health insurance premiums.  In this case, you are required to file a tax return.  

Even though you only have Social Security income, a tax return is required to reconcile any Advance Premium Tax Credit received.  You will complete Form 8962, which will determine if you received too much credit or too little.

If Column C is blank, you are not required to file, but you should.  You may be eligible for a refund.  This means you may have paid too much for your health insurance premiums.

Me and my husband file taxes no more. So how do I fill out form 1040 with no earned income? Marketplace sent my husband form 1095-A and we have to fill out form 1040 with it.

You skip the income section and go right to the 1095-A entry, then e-file the return.   TurboTax will complete Form 8962 and include it with your e-filed return.    You can start here.   If you have social security income or retirement income, it should be entered on your tax return if you are filing a Form 1040.     @LadyDell
