The big question mark is that, without the IRS form 1095-A information, you do not know how much, if any, reporting the IRS form 1095-A information will affect the bottom line of your Federal tax return.
Is it possible to electronically file your tax return without the dependent, then amend and add the dependent with IRS form 1095-A information?
What child tax benefits are you receiving for the dependent?
It is possible to enter an IRS form 1095-A with minimal information in it to satisfy the IRS for e-file purposes.
If you use this method, and it contradicts what the Marketplace has on record, later in the year you will receive a notice from the IRS.
To enter IRS form 1095-A follow these instructions:
- Select Federal from the left menu, then Deductions & Credits
- Scroll down to Medical and Select Show More
- Select Start or Revisit next to Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A)
- As you walk through the questions, you'll be asked if you received a 1095-A. Even if you didn’t receive this form, select Yes
- Enter 0's for the Marketplace identifier and policy number, and $1 for the January amounts
- Continue through to the end of the questionnaire
- Select File from the left menu and continue through the process to refile your return
