Amend your return and include the 1095A in the return and send to the IRS. You will need to send a copy of your 1095A with your amended return to the IRS. Make sure you keep a copy of it. Also you may receive a letter from the IRS requesting a copy of your 1095A and 8962. They may tell you not to send them the amended return, but to send both of documents. If you receive this letter, go ahead and send them the 1095A and 8962 to the address that they provide. Send a response with this letter to tell them that you have already sent an amended return with the copy of the 1095A included.

i am only advising you to prepare the amended return just in case of you do not receive the letter. Make sure you keep a copy of the 1095A just in case they send you a letter after submitting your amended return

@neicy59

IRS form 8862 Information to Claim Earned Income Credit after Disallowance is explained here.

To simply remove the Earned Income Credit, at the screen Do you live in the US for more than six months in 2021? click No to not qualify for the Earned Income Credit.

However, you may want to review IRS form 8862 to see if you are required to file the form.
