I was on marketplace insurance for half the year, and employer insurance the other half. How do I handle?

You'll need to indicate how long you were covered by either plan in 2016 (in your case, all year) and enter information from the Form 1095-A for your marketplace plan. 

Go to the Health Insurance section and indicate that you had coverage all year (since you had marketplace coverage for 6 months and employer-sponsored coverage for the other 6 months). Continue through the interview and answer the marketplace questions:

• Were you enrolled in any of these less common plans in 2016? Yes
• What type of plan were you enrolled in? Obamacare plan (1095-A) 
• Do you have a 1095-A form to enter for your Obamacare plan? Yes 

Next, enter the information from your Form 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace Statement), then continue answering the questions in the Health Insurance section. When you're finished, TurboTax will display That's all we need on your 2016 coverage.

Note: You may receive a Form 1095-C for your employer-sponsored coverage, but this form isn't needed to file your tax return. Just be sure to store it with your records.

I did this and the message keeps telling me you can't put 0's in the months of the 1095-A form for when you were covered by employer insurance.

I have the same problem for 2018 taxes. I keep finding info in this wiki that's outdated or doesn't work anymore.

Also having this issue.

I am also having the same problem. The form will not accept zeros for the months I was covered by my companies insurance. It also won't let me upload my 1095-B.

Hi - I was having the same issue but called and found out you just need to delete all the zeros from the fields you were covered by an employer or didn't have coverage.
