I need help with form 8962. It's asking for an modified agi but I don't have one. What do I do with the rest of the form?

When you enter your 1095-A into TurboTax, it fills out Form 8962, so you will see that in your return but not the 1095-A. You should not have to fill one out manually.  If you have received a notice from the IRS to send them Form 8962, please see below.

The MAGI calculation is your adjusted gross income, AGI, plus a few items.

If you file Form 1040, figure your MAGI by adding the amounts reported on Form 1040, lines 8b and 37. If you claimed the foreign earned income exclusion, housing exclusion, or housing deduction, add the amounts from Form 2555, lines 45 and 50, or Form 2555-EZ, line 18. If your dependent has a filing requirement, but you elect to report the dependent's income on Form 8814, include the dependent's MAGI in the household income by adding Form 8814, line 1b, and the smaller of Form 8814, line 4 or 5.

If you file Form 1040A, figure your MAGI by adding the amounts on Form 1040A, lines 8b and 21.

If you file Form 1040EZ, figure your MAGI by adding the amount on Form 1040EZ, line 4, and any tax-exempt interest reported in the space to the left of line 2.

If you received a letter from the IRS asking for a form 8962, please click the link below.
