I'm retired Military (United States Air Force) and receive a 1095-B from the Defense Finance & Accounting Services, not a 1095-A. In order for me to file my return(s) electronic, the Turbo Tax Software requires that I have to input a value into monthly premiums paid, which in my case is Zero (0). The software doesn't not allow a Zero or a blank value.
One of the primary reason for me to use Intuit Turbo Tax Software is the electronic transfer option, which is unable at present. In previous years usage, I've not had this problem. I don't want to have to use the U.S. Mail option due to the long time delay.
Hopefully, there is a work around for the issue and won't have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for our tax return to be processed.
Not sure where you are having this issue ... the 1095-B is entered nowhere in the program so undo the section you are in.
If this is in the 1099-R entry section then deleting the form and entering it again avoiding any insurance related questions may cure this issue.
I spent hours looking for my 1095 form which turned out to be a 1095-C. I apparently did not need this.
That information would have been helpful!
The program specifically asks for a 1095-A issued thru the Healthcare marketplace ... if you had insurance thru work you would have just said NO and moved on.
My Granddaughter is a student and lives with us and we claim her as a deduction on our tax return. Her health insurance is covered by her father’s federal employment. She received form 1095-C from a part time job. I am trying to fill out her 1040 return for her but cannot get past how to report 1095-C Information. Can you help?
You are confused ... a 1095-C is an informational form showing she had health insurance and is NOT reported anywhere on an income tax return. It has NOTHING to do with her having income. So did she have a W-2 form ? Or did she get a 1099-misc ?
She had two w-2 forms from different part time jobs. TurboTax keeps asking me to fix the 1095-A which I don’t have. Thanks
Remove the 1095-A you started ... return to that section ... say yes you have a form then delete the form.
Yes. The forms 1095-A, 1095-B, and 1095-C are health insurance forms for individuals issued by different entities::

I filled out your on line form . It’s says that I have to put in a 1095-a total number but I have a
1095-b. Should I refile and use the app.
Did you already submit your return?
If the return was rejected you can make the correction and re-submit the return.
You don't need to report form 1095-B, just keep it for your record.
Revisit the Medical section to make sure you have entered the correct information.
If the IRS accepted your return, you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. Then you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in.
Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return won't be available until 03/25/2021
Although you do not need to prepare an actual amended return, in order to get the 8962 form you will need to follow the instructions to start the amended return. Please see these links to help with this (if you prepared your original return in online software, you will need to obtain the download/cd version of TurboTax 2019):
The Form 1095-A is provided by the healthcare.gov marketplace or your state exchange. Once you have a copy of the document, then you can enter it into your "amended" return following these instructions: Where do I enter my 1095-A?
Keep in mind that you will not need to amend the return. Rather, once you have gathered the information necessary to set up entering the 1095-A into the 2019 program, follow the instructions in this Help Article: The IRS is requesting Form 8962 for 2020 (Although this article discusses 2020, the same steps will work for 2019 to prepare and print out the form).
Please refence the below from the IRS for tax year 2022. Link is provided.
Instructions for Forms 1094-B and 1095-B (2022) | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
Form 1095-B is used to report certain information to the IRS and to taxpayers about individuals who are covered by minimum essential coverage. Eligibility for certain types of minimum essential coverage can affect a taxpayer's eligibility for the premium tax credit.
I have a 1095-B issued by the military. How does one obtain the premium tax credit if there is no way to claim minimum essential coverage utilizing the software? Am I missing some step or option within the software? Please tell me how to claim this premium tax credit using the software.
@TC057 Since you have health care coverage through the military and receive a Form 1095-B you are not eligible for the premium tax credit.
The credit is only available for eligible individuals who have health care coverage through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges or from healthcare.gov and receive a Form 1095-A.
