Why do you ask?  Did you get a letter from the IRS?  What tax year are you referring to?  Did you receive your Form 1095-A?

A Form 8962 can only be generated after the Form 1095-A has been entered.

Did you received a letter from the IRS requesting just this form?  If so, here is how to get the form 8962 filled out. Please note: You are NOT going to amend your return and you are NOT going to add a state return. These directions are quirky but will get the job done.

  1.  Log into your return
  2. Select that you want to add a state - this lets you into the program without the amend process starting.
  3. In the top right corner, locate the Magnifying glass/search  
  4. enter the exact words 1095a
  5. Select the first entry Jump to 1095a
  6. Fill in the 1095a information
  7. Print and mail the 8962

The IRS may adjust your refund once they receive your form 8962.

When you enter form 1095-A, turbo tax will automatically generate form 8962.

To print the form, select Tax Tools from the menu then select Print Center.

Hello,

 

where do you go to print it? I followed the steps but the 8962 for isnt in the tax return pfd.

First, make sure you follow the instructions below to generate form 8962.

 

Instead of choosing the "Print forms required for filing" select "All forms, worksheets and schedules" or try the various printing options. Once you have the PDF, select form 8962 and print it.

 

When you're done in TurboTax, you'll need to print out form 8962 and mail or fax it to the IRS, along with any other items requested in their letter (IRS Letter 0012c).

 

If there's a change to your refund amount or the amount you owe, you'll need to print and send page 1 of your 1040.

I received a letter from the IRS asking for 1095A and 8962. I followed another employees instructions for creating the 8962 form through turbo tax and successfully printed it. It did state briefly while I was editing and adding my 1095A to create the 8962 that my refund amount lessened by 18 dollars. When I went to print my whole tax return (nothing was amended or changed obviously), my tax return amounts have not changed in the 1040. Is it still necessary to print page 1 of the 1040 if it didn't state a change in refund on there?

No, it is not necessary to print Page 1 of the 1040. The letter you received specifically says that all they want is the 8962 and 1095-A. They will automatically adjust your return to account for the $18.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the Form 8962 and Form 1095-A as requested by the IRS for 2019 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/health-care/help/the-irs-is-requesting-form-8962/01/27409

You may have just saved me a phone call to the IRS and from having to manually fill out this form. I tested this out and it brings me right to a place to fill out the form then hopefully it will generate the 8962 form so I can print it.

 

Thanks for looking out for us

Yes, TurboTax will generate Form 8962 from the information you enter from your Form 1095-A.
