Fine, but when I try to check any box it does not allow me to do so, a white "no access" sign pops up and even though all my health coverage information is accurate I cannot continue filing my taxes.
I have the same problem. Turbo tax doesn't have a box to check for my QHC
Link in Turbotax from "What if I have a 1095-B..." takes me to my 2011 tax forms for some strange reason.
The "ANSWER" provided as such is not an answer at all but instead an evasive subtext simply placed here to check a box somewhere showing that it has been addressed when in fact it has not.
Turbotax does not understand that the Tax form 1095-B is a full coverage document provided by TRICARE as proof of insurance for military and government officials in lue of the standard form 1095 and needs to "catch up with the times" by including this feature.
Turbotax also fails in its mediocre attempt to address this with the link on their software that says "what to do if you have a 1095-B.." Don't bother clicking the link as it pops up a window that says "Hmm, we don't have information on this at this time."
The form 1095-B is for information only, it does not need to be input into TurboTax.

The boxes available in TurboTax do not match my coverage. How do I proceed?
How do we answer the healthcare questions, step by step, if we have a 1095-B? If we say No to health coverage, it shows we owe money. If Yes, then our 1095-B option is not shown. It doesn't make me feel comfortable filing through TurboTax if not all the options are given.
1095-B forms are strictly for your records and do not have to be filed. 🙂
They're a 'just in case you need proof' type of deal for meeting the minimum insurance requirements for the year, I believe. 🙂
I have the same problem. I didn't get or can't locate our 1095-A, can't enter info from the 1095-B & 1095-C we have that verifies our coverage for the full year. Healthcare.gov doesn't have our file for last year to reproduce the 1095-A from their site. How do we know that Uncle Sam knows we had coverage and the Shared Responsibility Tax isn't included in our Federal Tax Due? Our tax due seems crazy high considering neither my wife nor I have any income streams other than our regular day jobs that have been withholding tax all year on every check. I understand the simple answer given to these questions. "You don't need this form. You only need it for proof you had coverage." That implies that you have all the info you need on a 1095-A. Well unfortunately we don't and now I need to put this proof (1095-B&C) to action. Please help. Does anyone even know if the Shared Responsibility Tax is automatically included in the Tax Due/Refund Calculation from the start, and is then deducted from the total once the health insurance info is input? Or does it start you off assuming you are insured and add the Shared Responsibility Tax to the total if not?
I'm finishing my taxes and just need to double check on where I submit the information from my 1095-B form

A Form 1095-B is not entered on a tax return.
I have a 1095-B and I did exatly what TurboTax said as far as reporting. Now the IRS just sent me a letter asking for my 1095-A so it looks like they want something.

If you never had health care insurance through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges in 2019, then the IRS has incorrect information concerning your insurance. Call the phone number on the letter you received from the IRS to get this matter resolved.
How will the IRS ever get the correct information if TurboTax refuses to recognize the form 1095B? I give TurboTax a big fat "F" for mishandling this entire topic, both in the tax software (where you cannot even search for 1095B) and for the confusing, disconnected responses in this forum.
The reason you can't find the 1095-B in TurboTax is because you don't need to report form 1095-B on your tax return.
First of all.....This is a new forum layout. Some posts that have June 2019 dates are really older posts from the old forum that got moved over. So they might be for prior years and not current info. When they migrated over the dates got changed to June 2019. And the screen shots got deleted.
THEN for 2019, You don't need enter a 1095-B or 1095-C just a 1095-A. See

The IRS receives all Forms 1095-A, 1095-B and 1095-C for all providers of health care coverage. It is not the taxpayers responsibility to tell the IRS if they had health care insurance or not after tax year 2018. Only if health care coverage was provided through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges or through healthcare.gov does the taxpayer have to enter a Form 1095-A on a tax return.
Great. Thank you. Finally a post that makes sense (from DoninGA). That post appears to conflict with this guidance within the tax software: "
The IRS won't penalize you for not entering your Form 1095-A, but it may take longer for them to process your return.
" This threatening and useless guidance is what confused me into thinking that some kind of 1095 should be submitted, but there was no way to do it.
