Changing from ACA to Medicare

My husband has been on Medicare for over two years. At the beginning of this year I was on an ACA plan from my state marketplace. I turned 65 in August, so I cancelled the ACA plan and went on Medicare. I got a 1095-A from the state plan with numbers in columns A, B, and C for January through July and zeros in all three for August through December. I dutifully filled that information in where Turbotax asked for it.

Now I'm ready to file my taxes. As it reviewed my return for errors, it made me looked at all 15 of those 0.00 entries to reconfirm that they were correct. Since I hadn't made any changes, I clicked the "Done" button when it finished. I then went through the rest of the e-filing process and got to the "Transmit my return" button. When I pressed that, it paused for a second and then went to a screen telling me that we now need some additional information that "we didn't need earlier." When I continued, it took me back to the same set of 15 zeroes and insisted that I go through them all again. When I hadn't made any changes, it went to a screen that had only two options to continue: "Change filing method" or "Continue" back to review/update the 15 zeroes! I went around the circle a couple times before I gave up!

I do not want to mail my forms in! That is a pain in the butt!! I haven't had any problems with the IRS not getting stuff in the mail, but in the past my state has "lost" my paperwork and then complained because I hadn't sent it in!! HOW DO I GET TURBOTAX TO UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE ZEROES ARE APPROPRIATE WHERE THEY ARE AND JUST SEND IN THE TAXES??!!

Thanks,

For all of the months where you did NOT have healthcare insurance through the Marketplace, leave all of the columns for those months blank (empty) remove the zeros
