Anyone with this reject code?? Reject Code F8962-006-01. I’ve tried delete and re entering the 8962 forms, ran the check and no errors but keep getting rejected.

Error message F8962-006-01 is a code from the IRS to explain the rejection. It does refer to Form 8962 which reconciles the Advanced Premium Tax Credit from your Form 1095-A. 

Our information for this code is "This return cannot be electronically filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on February 3, 2022. On, or after February 3, 2022, open the rejected return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing."

The IRS just began accepting e-filed returns on Jan 24th and this early in the season it is not uncommon for there to be updates.  Please review the 1095-A area in your return, after February 3rd, when the updates should be in place. Then, refile and it should be accepted.

I am getting the same rejection code. I've been doing a bit of looking around and found that there are several TT filers having this same issue. I spoke with a rep and he said that the error is the fault of the IRS. However, I am not so convinced.

From what I've gathered, I believe there is a glitch in the TT software. If you received unemployment and filed form 8962, the federal poverty amount should be input at 133% regardless of calculation.  However, it seems there is no way to override this input and I am assuming we are waiting on TT to update their system to fix this. 

So frustrating!

Form 8962 relates to insurance purchased through the HealthCare.gov Marketplace.  You should have received a form 1095-A related to this insurance.  You can download your 1095-A from healthcare.gov/marketplace.  If you are receiving this error (F8962-006-1) as a reject code then the IRS believes that you should have a 1095-A entered onto your return and will not process it without one.  

Here is some more information.
