Part III column A & have a amount and C is zero. I can't got thru this step

same here.

Please see my updated my answer.

same here

In the TurboTax Desktop program, if a 1095-A has an amount in Column A but nothing in Columns B or C. an error is incorrectly generated.  The program will not allow blank or zero dollar amounts in column B or C.

Workaround:

If you are impacted by this issue following steps will allow you to get past this error and file:

1. Select Wages & Income at top of screen
2. Go back to Health Insurance section
3. continue thru the screens - do NOT edit the 1095A
4. finish the Health Insurance section

The amount in column B can't be zero. You must enter the Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan (SLCSP). The SLCSP is the second-lowest priced health insurance plan in the Silver category that was available when you applied for insurance at Healthcare.gov or your state’s Health Insurance Marketplace.

• You can use the Health coverage tax tool to get your SLCSP if it’s not on your 1095-A.

The amount in column C can be zero if you didn't take a monthly subsidy to help pay for your health insurance premiums.

• If you did get a monthly subsidy to help pay for your health insurance premiums, enter in the monthly amount in column C.

If you need additional help with your 1095-A, contact the Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov or 1-800-318-2596.

Thanks, but my 1095-A Marketplace Statement has all 00.0 in Cols B & C. Really. Perhaps there was no SLCSP in my state?

Your 1095-A is wrong/incomplete. This happens more often than you think. Every state has an SLCSP. Did you go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.healthcare.gov">www.healthcare.gov</a> and use the Health coverage tax tool I linked above? Each person has a their own SLCSP.

My 1095-A has no entries in Column. I received no subsidy to help pay my health insurance premiums. I've tried leaving the entries in that column blank and filling them with 0.00. Either way, I get the "please enter an amount" for each of those cells. It won't let me continue.

I am experiencing the same issue. I entered the SLCSP in column B. However, I did not take any advance premium payments, so column C is all 0. However, when I enter 0.00 in column C, TurboTax shows me the warning: "Please enter an amount". How can I make TurboTax accept 0, which is the correct amount?

Same here on column C. It doesn't accept zero or no value.

Please see my updated answer.

That worked, thanks.

You're welcome. Thank you for using TurboTax.

The $0.01 workaround was successful, however, it obliterated all the deductions TurboTax had calculated when I started entering the SLCSP in column B.

The column C workaround was successful, however, it also obliterated all the deductions TurboTax had calculated after I started entering the SLCSP in column B.

Prior to following your advice above, for some reason line 29 in the 1040 form (and all forms similar) shows my self-employed health insurance deduction to be double the amount I paid in premiums for the year. Once I entered your advice, it gave me a $482 tax credit and I hoped with the form fixed, line 29 would be fixed too... but still showed double the amount minus the credit. What is causing this?

--nevermind, found out why -- was added to Schedule C as well.

It's been four years and the issue is still there. But this solution still worked, fortunately. Used the link to find the column B values. Thanks!

Still on taxes for 2022 turbotax doesn't allow for zero value for columns B and C for the Form 1095-A  It's asking for the Second Lowest Cost Silver plan premium but we were never give that amount on the 1095=A nor ever shown another amount other than the high premiums we pay.  Call the New York State market place and they have not idea why, nor do they admit their is second lower premium.  How can we bypass this step?  

You can’t bypass, you have to look up the value on some website. Someone linked it in this thread. You enter some info and it spits out a magic number you enter in that box. Don’t worry about what it means or why you have to do it.

Sadly, I don't see that link.

Thank you for trying to help me, I very much appreciate your kindness and time.   But I tried it and since I live in New York, I didn't get the information.  I was prompted to call the nystateofhealth.ny.gov that I called and the representative wasn't able to help me.  I left a message for a Supervisor to call me which I'm sure they won't but this is a turbotax problem.  We should be able to enter what we were sent and not have to deal with being stuck in the middle between the New York Market Place (nystateofhealth.ny.gov) not having an answer and Turbo tax not letting us bypass this step.  So, for all New Yorkers getting health insurance through the nystateofhealth.ny.gov - if anyone out there got a solution I'd appreciate you letting the rest of us know because as of 2022 tax filing Turbo Tax hasn't fixed this problem.   I had to file for an extension and will be paying interest on taxes we'll be owing and no solutions to this problem so far.  Anyway here right below is what we are getting in New York.  Again, I called and NOT helpful and I'm sure a Supervisor won't call me with the answer.  Again, thank you for trying to help me.  I'll have to contact the IRS for some answers.

New York operates its own marketplace

You'll need to visit NY State of Health to get tax information for the time you lived in New York.

Thank you.  I did call the representative wasn't able to help me and said he'd have a Supervisor call me but no one has called and probably won't  Turbo needs to fixed this.  Again, thank you very much.
