IRS sent letter requesting a completed 8962. Did not include info from my 1095-A on return because my Marketplace policy expired as of 12/31/2017. How should I proceed?

If you did not have Marketplace Insurance at any time in 2018 then call the IRS using the number in the notice to get this issue resolved.

Somehow the IRS thinks you have a 1095-A. The first thing to do is contact the Marketplace to see what is going on. Maybe you are supposed to have a 1095-A and never received it. Once you have a clear answer from them, ideally in writing, you can address why the IRS is requesting the form. This happens occasionally to people.

If you don't have your 1095A form you may be able to view it online. You can also contact the Marketplace Call Center if you find any errors on your 1095A.

Find your Form 1095-A online

Select your this year application (be sure you’re not choosing last year's coverage application)
Select “Tax forms” from the menu on the left
View or download each Form 1095-A
All 1095-As are also available with your Marketplace messages
