It keeps asking me for my 1095-a. I only have a 1095-b and 1095-c. What did I do wrong?

If you are asked to enter a form 1095-A, it means you indicated that you have insurance through the government exchange.

I was able to make it through without 1095-a.  I only received 1095-B and 1095-C.

You may have accidentally indicated that you had health insurance from the Marketplace, and once TurboTax knows this, it will make sure you don't file your return without entering the 1095-A (this is for your own good).

 

Two ways to try to fix this:

 

First, do a Search (upper right) for 1095-a and click on the jump-to link (Mac users have to find 1095-A in the Topics List). NOTE: type in 1095-a and then hit enter - don't click on any of the suggested search items.

 

This should bring you to the screen where TurboTax asks if you had Marketplace insurance, answer NO and continue.

 

If that doesn't work, then do the following:

 

*** Desktop***

 

1. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the 1095-A. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.

 

*** Online ***

 

1. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form

2. delete form(s) 1095-A.

 

Let us know if this does not work.

If you never accidentally answered that you had Marketplace insurance, then you would never have been prompted to enter the 1095-A. So you are OK not entering anything from the 1095-B or 1095-C.

@thegilm,

 

   The ***Online*** method is not longer valid as of 4/13/24. TurboTax no longer provides the option to delete 1095-A. It appears that it has been mask.

@omartinez 

There are a couple of options.  You may be able to remove the requirement to enter the Form 1095-A by returning to that section of the program and indicating NO that you did not receive the 1095-A.

 

Or if a Form 1095-A was created it can be deleted along with the form 8962

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen

Click on Tools

Click on Delete a form

 

To enter, edit or delete your Form 1095-A -

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Deductions and Credits
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Medical
  • On Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A), click the start or update button
