There is no longer a question concerning having health insurance all year.  The health insurance entries on the federal return are:

 

1.  If you received a 1095A for Affordable Healthcare via the Marketplace

2.  If you paid premiums out-of-pocket and are itemizing deductions

3.  If you have an HSA

4.  if you had premiums deducted from your pay, then your W2 entries will cover this

 

Items 1-3 are in the "Deductions & Credits" tab and item 4 is in the "Income & Expenses" tab.

You do not have to enter a 1095-C in TurboTax.  You will answer the question in the Health Insurance section that you had health insurance all year and keep a copy of the 1095-C with your tax records.  The insurance company will provide the IRS with the needed information.

A Form 1095-C is not entered on a tax return.

I got this, but turbo tax 2019 never asked me if I had insurance all year. Anyone know where I can find that box?

That is probably listed on your W2 in box 12.  That's the only place you enter it.

1095-C is an informational form only.  Nothing is entered from this form.

I thought I did at first an went to an amended return section. When I did that it said I have an $800.00 refund. I have already received my original refund so where did the 800 come from and do I have to file anything additional to get it.

@jgcopter   You have added on to a year old post.  What is your situation? Why are you amending?

 

Did you get any unemployment?  There was a change for that. You can exclude up to 10,200 of unemployment. The IRS will recalculate your return for the new unemployment exemption if you already filed.

There is no need for taxpayers to file an amended return unless the calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return.

A form 1095-C is not entered on a tax return.  Where asked if you received a Form 1095-A just answer NO.

If I don't have to add it then why is my taxes getting rejected? It's telling ME I have to add it, then I go to fix the problem and it shows me nothing to fix. It just ask about the 1095-A from, NOTHING about 1095-C. SO WHAT IS THIS A PROBLEM? I WANT TO FILE MY TAXES ALREADY

See answer above your post. "A form 1095-C is not entered on a tax return.  Where asked if you received a Form 1095-A just answer NO."

We submitted the return and IRS rejected it.  It said it was missing the 1095-c.  Where do I go from here?

No, the IRS did not indicate you were missing the Form 1095-C.  The 1095-C is not entered on a tax return.

The IRS would have said you are missing the Form 1095-A.

 

Did you have insurance in 2021 at any time through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges?  If not -

See this TurboTax support FAQ - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rejected-tax-return/help/how-do-i-fix-e-file-reject-f8962-070/00/2435667

Follow the instructions under What if I wasn’t covered at all in 2021 through the Marketplace?

Where do i add my 1095 C

The 1095-C is not added to your tax return. The 1095-C is issued by your employer.

 

Only the 1095-A from the Healthcare Marketplace is entered into the tax return.

Yes, we don't have to enter 1095-C , but?

it's confusing that TurboTax comes out with asking to enter 1095-A form and that my taxes will not be able to file if this form is not entered.

Why don't they fix this?

What should I do?

it says that I can continue doing my taxes, but I have to enter this form.

how get rid of this?

 

Help will be really appreciated.

Refer to the TurboTax help article How do I fix e-file reject F8962-070? for instructions to fix your return.

 

If you have a dependent on your tax return that had health insurance through the Marketplace, you will have to add their 1095-A. 

 

If you or anyone else on your tax return wasn't covered through the Marketplace for health insurance,  select What if I wasn't covered at all in 2024 through the Marketplace in the article.
