When e-filing federal return, I keep getting "The e-File database indicates that Form 8962 or a binary attachment with description containing "ACA Explanation" must be present in the return. I already added the information on form 1095-A and it shows form 8962 when I preview it, but it keeps rejecting. Why does it keep rejected, it the forms are there? Please help.
