Used TurboTax online to e-file a simple 1040 return. After filing, realized I made a mistake in line 12a, forgot to check that can be claimed as dependent on someone else's return. Tried to do an amended return, but after checking the box for 12a, TurboTax keeps giving me a validation error. It takes me to an empty 1095-A form and tells me that I need to delete it. However, there is no delete button.
I tried going to Tools->delete a form, and in the list there is no 1095-A, but there is an entry called "ACA Explanation". I tried deleting that, but despite confirmation that it was deleted, it's still there when I go back and check the list, and the issue persists.
I know I can just file 1040X on paper, but really want to avoid that and just e-file it in TurboTax. Any ideas on how to work around this bug?

You will need to delete all forms related to this. Besides the ACA explanation, look for form 8962 and any related worksheets.
