1095-A file Married separately

[laithfraij]

Hi
I need your help with my situation :
My visa is F1
My wife's visa F2
We are non-resident aliens so we have to file married separately.

We received 1095-A for 2022 that includes both of us  when we applied we checked that we will file jointly on the marketplace website due to a lack of tax knowledge

Now can you please help us with what to do? and should we file both of us 1040nr?

If your spouse did not get a 1095-A, 

TurboTax will ask you to enter a 1095-A on both tax returns. 

• The next screen will ask you about your health plan being shared, so check the box.
• Then you'll see a screen asking for shared policy info. You enter the following:
  • Enter the Social Security number in box 5 (recipient's SSN) on the original 1095-A
  • Enter the starting month and ending month that you had the insurance. (Probably the entire year)
• Now you'll be asked to enter percentages for Your Premium, Second lowest cost silver plan (SLCSP) and advanced payment.
• You should see amounts on the original 1095-A, columns A, B, and C. 
• You both should agree on what percentage of those amounts you’ll each claim it on your return.
• You can use anything from 0% to 100%, as long it all adds up to 100%.

 To post your 1095-A:  On the sidebar select Deductions & Credits

1. Scroll down to Medical
   1. HSA, MSA Contributions
   2. Medical Expenses
   3. Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A)
2. Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan?
   1. If Yes
   2. Continue
3. Complete the form

On the 1095-A, you should not enter "0" zeros.  This will cause a Review Error.  Simply leave the area blank.

If this does not completely answer your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.
