Corrected 1095-A before you file

[MDrascic]

I received a corrected 1095-A before I filed my taxes.  I changed to forms view and updated the form with the corrected information.  The form I received from HealthCare.gov has the corrected box checked.  I don't see a box to check to indicate the form is corrected on the Turbotax 1095-A form.  How do I indicate the form is a correction?

Since you have not filed your return yet, you would just use the information from the corrected 1095-A form.  You would not need to check that it is a corrected form since you did not file the original 1095-A form.

What do I need to do if I received a corrected Form 1095-A?

If you received a Form 1095-A with the "CORRECTED" box checked at the top, it generally means that you previously received a Form 1095-A containing one or more errors.

The corrected Form 1095-A may affect your tax return.

• If you have not yet filed your tax return, you should use this new form when completing your tax return.
• If you have already filed your tax return, you will need to determine the effect that the changes in your corrected form might have on your return. Some changes may not affect your tax return or require any action on your part, while others might. Compare the corrected Form 1095-A to the original form to determine the nature of the change. The information below can help you assess whether you should file an amended tax return, Form 1040-X. If you are uncertain whether you should amend your tax return, you may want to consult with a tax preparer.
• If you believe the information on your corrected Form 1095-A is incorrect, you should contact your Marketplace immediately to receive an accurate Form 1095-A. See our Marketplace page for a list of state and federal contacts.
