Tax Year Prior to 2020: 1095-A paying back the advanced premium tax credit

[mattslegacy]

I had health insurance through my employer all of 2018. However, I still received a 1095-A for 2018, indicating that I had received an APTC (Advanced Premium Tax Credit) for the month of January. I discovered that since I had used the marketplace in 2017, and did not updated the marketplace in the new year, I was automatically re-enrolled, and they sent at APTC to Ambetter on my behalf, even though I did not renew with this insurance company. 

So, since I did not pay ambetter my portion of the monthly premiums in January (since I had other employer insurance), would I still have to reconcile the APTC with the IRS?

Yes, you will need to either reconcile it, or try to get a corrected 1095-A form.  Keep in mind, if you actually benefited from the Advanced Premium Tax Credit (meaning it was credited to you, whether or not you used it)  they may not correct it.   But, it might be worth trying.
