You received the letter because the IRS was notified by the Federal Marketplace (HealthCare.gov) or on of the state marketplaces that you had health insurance under the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") in 2016.

You should have been sent a form 1095-A by the marketplace because you need it to be able to file your tax return.

You need to contact the federal marketplace or your state marketplace (if your state has one) and ask for your 1095-A.

IRS form 8962 is a form that reconciles the amount of Premium Tax Credit that you received during the year with the amount that you should have received based on your income at the end of the year.

 The Premium Tax Credit is paid by the government directly to your insurance company in order to reduce your health insurance premiums.

IRS form 1095-A is a report from the Federal Marketplace (or your state marketplace) detailing certain levels of premiums, and the amount of Premium Tax Credit paid monthly on your behalf. TurboTax uses this information to perform the calculations to complete form 8962.

Please see this TurboTax FAQ on what to do when you get a letter from the IRS after filing asking for a missing 8962. Note that the process should be the same for tax year 2016.
