The irs rejected my return saying something about needing a 1095-A. I have insurance through my company and chose no on form but was still rejected what do I do?

Your electronic return was rejected because IRS records show that APTC was paid to your Marketplace health insurance company on behalf of you or another member of your family,

1. Verify Your Health Insurance: Double-check if anyone in your household had Marketplace coverage. Sometimes, even brief coverage can trigger this requirement.
2. Check for Form 1095-A: Log into your Marketplace account to see if there's a Form 1095-A available for you
3. Correct Your Return: If you find a 1095-A, use it to complete Form 8962 and refile your return. See step-by-step instructions here,

If you believe Form 8962 is not required:

1. Contact your Marketplace to confirm that APTC was not paid for you or any family member. You can find contact information on the Marketplace contact page
2. Include a PDF attachment titled "ACA Explanation" with your return, explaining why you believe Form 8962 is not required.
