As you saying that you are covered by the VA? If you are covered by the VA Health program, then you should not receive a 1095-A because you did not acquire health insurance from a Marketplace under the Affordable Care Act. See this VA webpage. 

Go back through the health care interview, and make sure that you did not answer Yes to any question that asked if you were covered under the Affordable Care Act aka "Obamacare"). You should not be asked about a 1095-A.

By the way, the 1095-B does not need to be entered into TurboTax. If you are indeed covered by the VA, just answer that you are covered by qualified health insurance and let it go at that.

my software defaults to "yes" on the question about this so it won't efile my return.  It's looking for a form that isn't required.  there have been a bunch of updates but nothing has fixed this issue.  help!!

Please check in the interview section but also make sure there are not any partially completed forms hung in the return.

When our interview section Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A) for the Marketplace insurance reaches the screen Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan? it will default to "Yes".  If you select "No" and Continue, it will not generate any Form 8962 information into your return. If you come back, it will default to "Yes" again, but it remained the "No" you selected until the time you came back into the area. This is as it should be.

To be sure there is not a partially completed form in TurboTax, please check here to delete the form from your return.  You will want to make sure there is not a Form 1095-A or a Form 8962.

1. To Delete a Form go black menu bar on the left
2. Click on Tax Tools
3. Click on Tools
4. Under Other helpful links, click on Delete a Form
5. Scroll down and check for 1095-A or 8962 and if there is one, click on Delete
6. Click on the blue Delete Selected Form
7. At the bottom Continue
8. Repeat until any Form 1095-A or From 8962 are deleted
9. At the bottom Continue with my Return

This should remove all traces of the form and allow you to file without that error.
