I received a 1095-A with entries in Columns A and B, rows August through December. There were no entries in Column C, rows August through December. I presume Column C is blank because, at the time I signed up, my estimated income did not qualify me for the Advanced PTC.

The Form 1095-A in Turbo Tax shows errors for each of the entries in Column A, rows August through December. Why am I getting this error?

Any box that doesn't have an amount in on your 1095-A, leave them blank in TurboTax, instead of entering a zero.

In TurboTax, you can enter your form 1095-A following these steps:

Go to your account in TurboTax, open your tax return.
Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then go to Deductions & Credits on the top of the screen.
Scroll down to All Tax breaks, locate the section Medical and click on Show more
Click Start next to Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A).

As a second option, you can click the magnifying glass icon in the top right, type "1095-A", and select the "Jump to" link.

Where do I enter my 1095-A?

I have similar error messages occurring on my TT for Mac return. My Form 1095A has amounts in Column A and B for January through September, the time that my spouse was covered under a plan purchased through an exchange. The data in the TT 1095A is identical to that on the form received from the government exchange. However, TT shows errors and the fix says that Column A should be blank. TT will not let me file electronically unless I make this change. Then the form will not equal the Form 1095A I received in the mail. Please advise.

If your Form 1095-A has entries only for January through September, be sure to leave the other months blank in TurboTax. TurboTax will not accept zeros on the form.

If your Form 1095-A has zeros for Column B, enter instead the second lowest cost Silver plan (SLCSP) premium amounts. To find the second lowest cost Silver plan premium amounts for you, use this tool at Healthcare.gov. The software won't accept zeros in Column B.

Please see this help article for more information on entering Form 1095-A information in TurboTax.
