My files say accepted but I got a letter in the mail saying my federal return won't be processed until I send in a 1095?

[SteveOpp]

I have the same issue.  The instructions released by TT do not help at the moment.  It says I have to wait until late February to use the Turbo Tax Online function for 2019!  Looks like my refund will be delayed at least a month or two!

[SteveOpp]

"Amend Using Turbo Tax Online" is not available until late February!  Is there a work around for this issue?

No. But do not amend too soon.  You have 3 years to amend.

You should *wait* until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or conformation that any tax due has been paid. (If you file an amended return while you first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time). In addition, if the IRS makes any change on your original return, you might end up having to amend the amendment – a sticky process that can take a year or more).

I do not know what to do I am very worried about this should I amended 

[JohnW222]

No, don’t amend your return, just follow the instructions that LindaB1993 has provided above.  Above all, just follow the IRS’s instructions.

Try not to worry.  The IRS just sees, from its records, that you should have filed Form 8962 with your return.  That’s all that it means at this point.

Hi,

This is very helpful information. The one issue I am having while following the steps is that it does not have the option to amend on turbo tax online. The only option it shows is for downloading the turbo tax desktop even for previous years, or is it the same thing and that is just another part of the steps? @DeanM15

Form 1040X is estimated to be available on 02/27/2020

On the Tax Home web page when the Form 1040X for amending a 2019 tax return becomes available there will be a link - Amend (change) return

[china1321]

I just received that one letter say do not do anything and it has been like that no changes at all "is being processed " nothing else. What should I do just wait?????

It may be that your return is just under review. Follow the instructions in the IRS letter.

do I need 8962 form for 2019 taxes

[BillM223]

If you received a form 1095-A or are listed as covered by a Marketplace policy (under the Affordable Care Act , aka, "Obamacare"), then, yes, you need to add the 8962 to your return.

You do that by entering the form 1095-A to your return, from which TurboTax will generate the 8962. If you don't have the 1095-A, then visit or contact your Marketplace for a copy.

Once you have your 1095-A, you can see how to add or create the 8962 by visiting this TurboTax FAQ on creating the 8962. 

If you received a letter from the IRS requesting a form 8962, then please be sure to follow the instructions in the letter - for example, normally the IRS does not want you to amend your return (even if Turbotax thinks you are to get the form created) - they generally just want the 8962 itself. Be sure to follow the instructions in the letter carefully.
