Even if you didn't have health insurance through the marketplace, if someone in your household did and the form isn't included then, the IRS will reject your return. You can go to HealthCare.gov or your state's Marketplace, to make sure that no one had coverage during 2024.

 

If no one in your family had health insurance through the marketplace, you can certify this in TurboTax by following the steps below:

 

  1. Open your return
  2. Go to the Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan?
  3. When it asks to enter Form 1095-A select No

Once you do this, you will be able to e-file your return.  

 

How do I fix e-file reject F8962-070?

If you did not have coverage through the Marketplace then you will need to mark no for the question, "Did you receive a 1095-A for your health insurance plan?"  To find this section in TurboTax, follow these steps:

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax
  2. Select Deductions & Credits
  3. Select Affordable Care Act (1095-A)
  4. Enter No for "Did you receive a 1095-A for your health insurance plan?"

If you already enter no and receive a rejection when you processed your return, you will need to contact Marketplace to correct any discrepancies.  The rejection is occurring due to a SSN listed on your return associated with an account through Marketplace.  For more information see the link below:
