Did you receive a Form 1095-A for your health insurance. I check NO, every time I go back to verify the answer has been changed to Yes...WHY

This is for tax year 2019

"I had to go manual and fill out the Form 1095-A to reflect Form1095-B." - you created a 1095-A in TurboTax and entered 1095-B data? That may not give you the desired results. 

 

Does your return have a form 8962 added to it? If so, this will completely confuse the IRS and invite correspondence from the them.

 

"Screens informed that your return would be delayed without a Form 1095-A" - this message should have made it clear that this is referring only to taxpayers who received a 1095-A or who had health insurance from the Marketplace. Taxpayers who had a 1095-B or 1095-C do not need to enter it.

 

"Did you receive a Form 1095-A for your health insurance. I check NO, every time I go back to verify the answer has been changed to Yes...WHY" - the explanation for this is that some questions are so critical or cause so many secondary actions, that the designers wanted the taxpayer to confirm positively their answer each time. Yes, it is confusing, because I think if you just hit Continue, it would retain your original answer - but I can't advise that because I can't be sure that it will act the same way every time you see a screen like this.

Thanks!

Same problem with me... No Form 1095-A because I had received a Form 1095-B.

 

Turbo Tax help screens had not been updated from 2018. Screens informed that your return would be delayed without a Form 1095-A. I had to go manual and fill out the Form 1095-A to reflect Form1095-B.

 

Definitely the most erratic edition of TTax since version one.
