How do I file my form 1095B??

[ericaa]

I have the same problem. I didn't get or can't locate our 1095-A, can't enter info from the 1095-B & 1095-C we have that verifies our coverage for the full year. Healthcare.gov doesn't have our file for last year to reproduce the 1095-A from their site. How do we know that Uncle Sam knows we had coverage and the Shared Responsibility Tax isn't included in our Federal Tax Due? Our tax due seems crazy high considering neither my wife nor I have any income streams other than our regular day jobs that have been withholding tax all year on every check. I understand the simple answer given to these questions. "You don't need this form. You only need it for proof you had coverage." That implies that you have all the info you need on a 1095-A. Well unfortunately we don't and now I need to put this proof (1095-B&C) to action. Please help. Does anyone even know if the Shared Responsibility Tax is automatically included in the Tax Due/Refund Calculation from the start, and is then deducted from the total once the health insurance info is input? Or does it start you off assuming you are insured and add the Shared Responsibility Tax to the total if not?

A Form 1095-B is not entered on a tax return.

I have a 1095-B and I did exatly what TurboTax said as far as reporting.  Now the IRS just sent me a letter asking for my 1095-A so it looks like they want something.

If you never had health care insurance through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges in 2019, then the IRS has incorrect information concerning your insurance.  Call the phone number on the letter you received from the IRS to get this matter resolved.

How will the IRS ever get the correct information if TurboTax refuses to recognize the form 1095B? I give TurboTax a big fat "F" for mishandling this entire topic, both in the tax software (where you cannot even search for 1095B) and for the confusing, disconnected responses in this forum.

The reason you can't find the 1095-B in TurboTax is because you don't need to report form 1095-B on your tax return.

First of all.....This is a new forum layout. Some posts that have June 2019 dates are really older posts from the old forum that got moved over. So they might be for prior years and not current info. When they migrated over the dates got changed to June 2019. And the screen shots got deleted. 

THEN for 2019,  You don't need enter a 1095-B or 1095-C just a 1095-A.  See

The IRS receives all Forms 1095-A, 1095-B and 1095-C for all providers of health care coverage.  It is not the taxpayers responsibility to tell the IRS if they had health care insurance or not after tax year 2018.  Only if health care coverage was provided through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges or through healthcare.gov does the taxpayer have to enter a Form 1095-A on a tax return.

Great. Thank you. Finally a post that makes sense (from DoninGA).   That post appears to conflict with this guidance within the tax software: "The IRS won't penalize you for not entering your Form 1095-A, but it may take longer for them to process your return."  This threatening and useless guidance is what confused me into thinking that some kind of 1095 should be submitted, but there was no way to do it.

We ran into this last year (2018 filing). We submitted our income tax return without a 1095B and our refund was held. MANY months later we received a request for it in the mail from the IRS.  We had to then amend our return to include a special form which was advised by the IRS and then resubmit them. The IRS ended up doubling our refund amount and we finally received it.

How can  I  get turbo tax to let me file my completed tax form  I am stuck in the 1095 window

How do I get turbo tax to let me to continue to work on filing my taxes. The 1095 is holding me up

TurboTax will not allow you to file the tax return until the issue is resolved.  The only time anything needs to be entered into TurboTax is if you have a 1095-A.   If you do not have a 1095-A and TurboTax is not letting you file, it is because you have answered the question incorrectly or TurboTax keeps going back to yes.   

The first thing to try is to go back to the section where the 1095 -A is entered and delete the form or answer No to the question.  

1. Go back into TurboTax and open your return, if it is not already opened.  
2. Click on Deductions and Credits and scroll down to Medical
3. Click on Revisit or Edit/Add next to Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A)
4. Answer the question about unemployment and click Continue
5. The next screen asks the question Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan?  Answer No, I didn't receive a Form 1095-A and click on continue
6. Click continue on the next screen and it should take you back to the Deductions and Credits screen.

Now try to complete the filing process.   

If this does not work, then try this workaround:

If you do not have a 1095A and did not have marketplace coverage but the section seems to keep defaulting to "yes" This is not a defect, but a case of a form hanging on in the return.

• When revisiting the section the default answer is still set to yes but the 8962 and 1095A are not part of the return.
• If you select Yes you will be prompted to enter the 1095A information and you cannot continue leaving the full form blank as an error will be presented.
• Now you will not be prompted with the yes/no question to receiving the 1095A and will see your entry with options to edit/delete the entry.
• Delete the 1095A entry and both the 1095A and 8962 are removed from the return.
• If you revisit the section again default will be yes but the forms are removed
• Now, select No, efile your return, and if you are rejected, then the IRS requires your 1095A in the return.
