Software Error - Massachusetts return

Certain health insurance companies do not provide a Form MA 1099-HC, as the federal form (Form 1095-B) is sufficient.  They refuse to generate a Form MA 1099-HC; but Turbotax Online refuses to allow e-filing with this field blank.

I know that Turbotax will likely deny this is a problem, as they always deny there is a problem with their software, so I suggest submitting it as an issue to the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel:

There are two issues here:

 

Does Massachusetts accept either a 1099-HC or a 1099-B as proof of insurance?

Yes, see Mass-Gov 1095-B and 1099-HC Tax Form 

 

The second issue is why TurboTax did not E-file.

  • In the Massachusetts interview there is an area to enter the 1099-HC
  • It says "If you don't have a 1099-HC, enter the information from your insurance card. 
  • This is in the interview under Health Insurance Information.
