Dont have 1095-A

[Robert9777]

Hello all, so I have an appointment tomorrow to finish my taxes due to not having my 1095-A on hand. I do not recall getting one however. I didn't get health insurance through GetCoveredNJ nor did I get it through the Health Care Government site. I did however get minimum essential coverage through Assurance Health Advisors (this is all something I failed to tell my tax expert, not her fault). Does the 1095-A still apply to me?

Probably not; it depends on what kind of policy you have.   You will get a 1095-A if the policy is considered an Obamacare-ACA policy.  When you meet with your tax expert tomorrow, let her know.   If you do not and will not receive a 1095-A, you will be able to certify that you did not receive one, so you will be able to e-file.   

Your return may have been rejected if the IRS has information that someone in your household should have a 1095-A.

If you don't have a Form 1095-A and know you won't be receiving one, you can certify this in TurboTax Online/Mobile in order to refile your return:

1. Go to the Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan? screen.
2. You'll be asked if you received a 1095-A. Select No. By selecting this certification, you will be able to e-file your return and meet the requirements under rejected code F8962-070.
3. Select File from the left menu and continue through the process to resubmit your return.   See How to Fix Reject 8962
