How do I enter in TurboTax if I received a 1095-A for having the Health Exchange & 1095-B at the SAME time where I have to repay the overlapping months of Health Exchange coverage credits? I can find no field or option to enter when dual coverage is present.

Only enter the 1095-A.   Do not enter the 1095-B.  Ignore it.

I only have the 1095-A entered, but it does not address the issue. I had 7-months of overlapping converge for which I have pay back the Health Exchange tax credit ($188 per monthx7). How and where in TurboTax can I adjust the content for form 8962 to reflect the dual coverage and the non-qualifying tax credits that I received and nee to repay through the filing process? Thanks!

Follow these steps to Adjust the Monthly Columns:

1. Open to the 1095-A healthcare entries
2. Look at Part III (the monthly table) of your 1095-A.
3. For the 7 months where you had overlapping coverage:
   1. Column A (Monthly Premium): Keep the amount as shown on the form.
   2. Column B (SLCSP): Change this amount to $0 (zero) for those 7 specific months.
   3. Column C (APTC): Keep the amount as shown on the form (this is the $188 you received).

Repayment is calculated using your income so you may not have to pay it all back. Be sure to have the coverage cancelled retroactively, if it is still active.

Thanks, I tried making Column B zero for the 7-mipacted months and TurboTax says the amount for each month in this column must be greater than zero. It turns red and will not allow me to proceed, so I still am not able to resolve the issue.

You can try $1, but Column B can't have zeros for any month there is an amount in Column A.  

For any month you have an amount in column A, you have to have a positive amount in column B, and any amount (including $0) in column C.   If there is no amount (or $0) in column A, leave all columns blank for that line.

I did not get the answer I'm looking for. Entering $1 still makes my submission INCORRECT and I dont want to submit a return that has errors in it. Not sure why this cant be resolved.

It's important for you to know this is a common action and not new, for the 1095-A. It's important to try it to see if you can complete your return. If you prefer to wait or send by mail you can.

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.
