Entering 1095A it keeps saying that there must be a value entered in at least one of the fields which is greater than zero. All entries for all months complete. Help?

I have entered Part 1 info (State and policy number) and 3 entries for each month. Cant see that I'm missing anything.

If you purchased health insurance through Healthcare.gov or your state's health insurance marketplace, you should receive your 1095-A by mid-February.

Your 1095-A should include info for everybody on your return who was enrolled in a Marketplace plan, and is required to calculate the Premium Tax Credit.

Here's how to enter your 1095-A in TurboTax:

1. Open (continue) your return if you don't already have it open.
2. Search for 1095-A and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
3. Answer Yes on the Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan? screen and Continue.
4. Enter your 1095-A info on the next screen and select Continue. We don't need all the info from your 1095-A, so we'll only ask about the info that affects your return.

If you have Form 8962 and a 1095-A, and aren't sure what to do with them, go here for info on how to file them with your return.

Not sure the response below answered the question being asked.  I have the same problem.  I had to jump off of marketplace insurance in July due to us selling a piece of property which in turn caused my MAGI to increase significantly.  My 1095 has a value in column A for August through December.  There are no values in column B or C.  TurboTax is saying that I need to have values greater than 0 in column B and a value in column C.

If you left your Marketplace insurance in July, you can leave column A for August through December blank.  Then columns B & C will not be an issue.

I actually stayed with marketplace and received a 1095-A even though I did not receive a tax credit (I paid full premium).  Column A on the form has the premium that I paid.  Column B on the form is blank and so is column C.  If I leave them blank I get the errors and it will not let me move on. The only way that I can move on is to put a value into column B and put a a 0 in column C.  I just want to make sure that this is okay.

The amount in column B can't be zero. You must enter the Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan (SLCSP). The SLCSP is the second-lowest priced health insurance plan in the Silver category that was available when you applied for insurance at Healthcare Marketplace. 

You can use the Health coverage tax tool to figure to get the SLCSP it is not on your Form 1095-A.

The amount in column C can be zero if you didn't take a monthly subsidy to help pay for your health insurance premiums.

• If you did get a monthly subsidy to help pay for your health insurance premiums, enter the monthly amount in column C.

Yuh, I'm not sure how this actually works.  I went to the covermemaine.gov site and that is not much help.  

[MarilynG1]

Since you didn't get a Health Care Subsidy, you could try entering 0 in both Columns B and C.  This may satisfy the IRS requirement that you report your 1095-A. 

However, if your Efile is rejected, you will need a value in Column B. 

If this happens, try this tool.

There are some special circumstances where a 1095-A will be issued, but the person does not qualify for any subsidy.  It will usually have the full premium paid in Col A, and Col B and Col C are blank.  TurboTax will not allow blanks in Col B.

I used $1 in column B and a zero in Col C.  My federal refund did not change, since it was not supposed to, but this allowed me to file with my 1095-A attached, which is what the IRS will be looking for.

If you do this, make sure your refund/tax due does not change, and the ending screen for that section should say your premium tax credit is $0.
