You don't. You don't provide a lot of detail for non-Obamacare insurance. You merely indicate that you had insurance, and you would have already indicated as much by clicking the box "I had insurance all year"You don't list your non-Marketplace plan by name- there's no place for that in the Affordable Care Act questions.

The only thing that matters for 3/2016-12/2016 is that you were insured. You will indicate that you had "Obamacare" so you can enter the 1095-A. Your 1095-A shouldn't have figures past 3/2016, so the program already knows that you had insurance another way after that.

After inputting the 1095-A for the Obamacare coverage, you are done with Health Insurance. You may receive a 1095-B form for the BCBS, but unlike a 1095-A, a 1095-B is not entered into your return. The 1095-B form simply verifies that you were indeed insured.

Now I can't even file! Had Turbo Tax crashed from everyone trying to file. Because it's not taking me to my return and all I needed to do was provide my 2015 AGI # (18158) and I'm finished, but it keeps stating there's an error. I tried last night several times, and again this morning.. What's going on with the system?

We don't have access to your return, so I can't peek to see what your issue is. Its not universal.
What is it saying the error is? Have you tried clearing your browser cookies and logging back and in?

Yes, I have... I'm not sure why it's showing an error for me. the error is saying Turbo Tax is working on the issue and to try again later... But I tried it last night, and again this morning & it's showing the same error. Is there a number I can call to talk to someone?? I really need that tax money.. I'm a single struggling mother.. I need that money.

I understand- Just keep in mind: The IRS is not processing returns for another few days. If you have the Earned Income Credit. you will not get your return 'til mid or late February whether you file today or 2 weeks from today. I say that so you have some perspective- please, don't panic! We will help you figure this out.

Try another browser if you haven't already.

Several forms are also still not finalized, which is not a Turbo Tax issue. Because I can't see your return, I can't guess on that. What state are you in? It could be your state too.

Are you receiving ANY indication (form numbers, key words, etc) on what the error is?
