Form 1099-A Obamacare for my dependent mother-in-law, Part 2, Covered Individuals

[Rebelman]

Hi Tax Community, 

My wife and I received a Form 1099-A Obamacare for my dependent mother-in-law. She is listed on Part 2, Covered Individuals. 

We're using the current 2025 TurboTax program to complete her Form 1099-A Obamacare section, but it is NOT very user-friendly. There is NO part of the TurboTax questions that clearly asks for the Part 2, Covered Individuals section.

Instead, the TurboTax system asks a bunch of confusing related questions. Has anyone else suffered this mess? And how did you fix it? 

BTW, the TurboTax system lets you upload lots of related tax documents, like Form 1099- INT, 1099-DIV, etc. But why can't I upload my Form 1095-A in the same way???

Thanks, 

Frustrated William

TurboTax can import some 1099 and W-2 forms, but currently, 1095 forms have to be manually entered.   You do not have to enter anything from Part 2 of Form 1095-A as long as your mother-in-law is listed as a dependent on your tax return.   All you have to enter is the policy and marketplace id numbers and the amounts from Part 3, specifically columns A, B, an C.   TurboTax will calculate any Premium Tax Credit or repayment and complete Form 8962 in the back ground.    

Where do I enter my 1095-A?
