You will not add this to your return, Form 1095-B is informational only the IRS does NOT need any details from this form. The form verifies you had health insurance coverage. You can keep any 1095-B forms that you get from your employer for your records. When you arrive at the question “Did you have health insurance coverage in 2016”, simply select that you had coverage all year( if applicable). Then when asked "If anyone was enrolled in any of these less common plans in 2016." select "No." That is all the information that is required..

You need a 1095-A only if you bought health insurance through the Marketplace in 2021. If you did not buy that insurance, then you won't get a 1095-A.

When you enter that section, it automatically defaults the answer to "Yes", so if we change the answer to "No" and Continue until we are back at the main Deductions and Credits screen, it will stay checked as "No"

 

First, be sure there is no Form 1095-A information in the ACA section.  Use the trashcan icon to delete.

 

 

 

Then, go back and answer "No" to the question Did you receive Form 1095-A and Continue until you are back at the main screen. 

It will be saved with the "No" answer for you to resubmit.
