Do I have to file form 8885 ifI'm not getting a health tax credit- I'm paying

I have already files my taxes and this form 8885 popped up at the end- I don't understand any of it

Most taxpayers do not qualify for the Health Coverage Tax Credit (it's for workers who have been certified as "displaced workers" - see this TurboTax FAQ for more information.

If you don't know what this credit is or what this program is, then you probably entered something by accident that made TurboTax think that you were eligible.

To start over on health care, please do:

*** Desktop***

1. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the desired form. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.

*** Online ***

1. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form

2. delete any healthcare worksheets, and form(s) 8885-T, and 8885-S (if one)

NOTE, after you do this, you may need to redo your healthcare interview (Health Insurance, at the top).

You will want to re-open your return to amend it - see <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288565">https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288565</a>

If your refund or tax due changes, then you will want to send the amended return to the IRS.

Use the instructions above for deleting the form.
