Why can't I remove the Premium Tax Credit from my return?

[DianeW777]

If I understand your earlier post that you have no Marketplace insurance you can try the following which has been successful.  

The IRS is rejecting returns with this code because they believe you or someone on your return had insurance through the marketplace. 

You can try to enter $1 for the 1095.  This will not affect anything on your return, but having the form there may get the IRS to accept your return.  To do this take the following steps: 

1. Click Deductions and Credits
2. Scroll down to Medical and Click Show More > Click Start or Revisit next to the ACA
3. As you walk through the questions, you will be asked if you received a 1095-A.  If you did NOT, click YES.
4. Enter 0's for the Marketplace identifier and Policy number.
5. Enter $1 for January monthly premium amount and SLCSP
6. Walk through to the end and submit your return.

Diane, thank you for your support.  IRS has accepted my submitted return with the directions you provided, so hopefully I'm past all of this.  Thanks again!
