I am sorry, you will have to go online to access your Tax Tools, it is not available on the Mobile App.  Once you are logged in your TurboTax Online account,

  1. While in your Tax Home,
  2. Select Tax Tools from the left side of your screen,
  3. Select Tools,
  4.  Select Delete a Form,
  5. Select Delete next to the forms you want to delete.

THE SUGGESTED PATH DOES NOT EXIST.

Try this:

 

Go to your Federal interview section. 

  1. Select Deductions & Credits 
  2. Scroll down to All Tax Breaks 
  3. Select Medical 
  4. Select Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A)

You should see a list of any policies here.  Select the delete to the right of the policy that no longer exists and needs to be deleted.

There is no delete button. And it always says "I have received my 1095-A"

I have health insurance with my employer.

Ok ... say YES (even though it is NO)  to you got a 1095-A and then on the next screen you can delete the unwanted entry form.

No delete. its asking for the marketplace identifier, and the premiums per month.

Go to the Deductions and Credits portion, select Medical. When you select Medical you will see affordable Care act. Select and Delete

I struggled with this for a while. There were multiple threads asking the same question, but only one of them had a helpful response, so I will pass it on: if you already created the 1095 form but want to delete it and finally e-file,

  1. click on the top right corner's search bar (magnifying glass)
  2. Search "1095-a" and click "Jump to 1095-a"
  3. Now you can mark "No" and the form will be removed

That does not work. The changes are not saved.

@Cbridges1.  If you are opening TurboTax by just clicking on the mobile application on your phone, you will not be able to access the tools you will need to delete a form.  Rather, if using your mobile phone, you need to log-in to your account using a mobile browser, such as Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari.  When you log-in to your account in this way, then follow these steps to delete Form 1095-A.

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question, however, I have tried that too many times to count in the last 3 days. It doesn’t work

Did you have a 1095-A on the 2020 return ?   If so and you transferred the prior year info into the 2021 program a shell 1095-A could be your issue.  Return to the 1095-A entry section and this time say  YES to you have a form so you can get to the next page ... if there is a shell form there DELETE it and then say NO to move on.

Yes I did have that form in 2020. I just went back to the question and said yes. A blank form comes up, but doesn’t seem to be anyway to delete it. Thank you

I did have that form in 2020. I see the blank form when I changed the answer to yes. Can’t find a way to delete it though

Form/schedule/worksheet is not one of my options from the list of forms I can delete. How else can I find the one for the 1096-A. I accidentally choose yes but I had insurance through my employer.

To be sure there is not a partially completed form in TurboTax, please check here to delete the Form 1095-A and/or Form 8962 from your return. This will delete both the form and the entries.

  • To Delete a Form go black menu bar on the left
  • Click on Tax Tools
  • Click on Tools
  • Under Other helpful links, click on Delete a Form
  • Scroll down and check for 1095-A or 8962 and if there is one, click on Delete
  • Click on the blue Delete Selected Form
  • At the bottom Continue
  • At the bottom Continue with my Return

When our interview section Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A) for the Marketplace insurance reaches the screen Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan? it will default to "Yes"If you select "No" and Continue, it will not generate any Form 8962 information into your return. If you come back, it will default to "Yes" again, but it remained the "No" you selected until the time you came back into the area. This is as it should be.

you are right. This does not work. It is a waste.

If you're being rejected for a missing or incomplete 1095-A it is because the IRS thinks you or someone on your return had a Marketplace health policy.

 

First confirm that you, or any others listed on your return were not covered by a Marketplace policy. You may be able to find a 1095-A form by signing in to your healthcare.gov account and downloading it.  

 

Once you're confident that you did not get a 1095-A, you can try to delete the form.


If this didn’t work, go into your return and make sure that you checked that you didn’t get a 1095-A.

  • Start with Federal Taxes 
  • Click on Deductions and Credits
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Medical.
  • On the Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A), click the start or update button.
  • Indicate that you did not get a 1095-A

Finally, if all else fails:

You can try to enter $1 on the 1095-A.  This will not affect anything on your return, but having the form there may get the IRS to accept your return.  To do this take the following steps: 

  • Use the same steps above, but indicate that you did get a 1095-A
  • Post $1 for January. This will not change your tax return.

I’m a freaking genius haha. I figured it out.

If you are struggling deleting this form, just go along with the form, fill it out with whatever, continue.. finish it. Once done, now you go ahead access :

”Tools” —> “Delete a form” 

 

 

and 1095A will be there to be deleted 😂

 

Best of luck

This does work, but after answering no, on the next page there is a disclosure with a very small square where you must acknoweledge you did not recieve or will not recieve the form.
