We do NOT have an ACA health insurance plan

The e-File database indicates that Form 8962 or a binary attachment with description containing "ACA Explanation" must be present in the return. We don't have this coverage. I am not sure how to proceed?

This has been a Turbo Tax issue in the past and the only way  to clear it is in this workaround so that the iRS will accept your return.

  • Click Deductions and Credits
  • Scroll down to Medical and Click Show More
  • Click Start or Revisit next to the ACA
  • As you walk through the questions, you will be asked if you received a 1095-A.  If you did NOT, click YES.
  • Enter 0's for the Marketplace identifier and Policy number.
  • Enter $1 for January monthly premium amount and SLCSP
  • Walk through to the end and submit your return. 

Let me know if this works.

Thanks, I'll try that if it comes back as "rejected" again!

My client had to pay $1 in taxes instead of zero but it was well worth my time savings.  Thank you.
