I am retired and have medical insurance from my former employer. they have NOT provided a 1095-A, but, when I research this, the medical service provider website refers to providing a 1095-B, which I have to ask for and will be mailed to me. I am on my Life Partners 1095-C because I get dental from her. It states that if I don't provide 1095-B information on my tax return the IRS may delay my return. do I need a 1095-A, as Turbo Tax asks, request the 1095-B, which my medical insurance provider provides, or take entries from the 1095-C.

No, you do not need a 1095-A unless you purchased your health insurance through the Marketplace (heathcare,gov) or a state exchange. You only need to provide the 1095-A information if you received the Advanced Premium Tax Credit or if you purchased through the government and want to claim a subsidy.

Turbo Tax is asking me if I received a 1095-A. I received a 1095-B and always have in past years. How can I get TT to ask for information from my 1095-B

A Form 1095-B is not reported on a tax return. Keep a copy for your records
