For the months before April and after July, leave all the boxes blank. Do not enter the zeros.
then it tells you to enter an amount, and won't let you proceed. SO frustrating!
I found an answer mentioned that once you hit that point, back all the way out and go to the review. It'll flag those fields and have you go through them but the data you did enter will be there and it won't trap you in those fields.
Can anyone confirm if this works? I am trying to retroactively claim a premium tax credit the filer didn't qualify for at the beginning of the year but it doesn't seem to be lowering the tax owed.
For the months that I was not covered, it was telling me that columns A, B, and C could not be zero. I deleted the "0" in each column. Once I did that, the boxes turned grey and stayed blank. I was then able to click "continue" at the bottom of the screen, and move on with my tax information.
