No, you don't need to enter a Form 1095-B on your tax return, because it isn't required.
Instead, answer the Health Insurance section in TurboTax as follows:
That's all we need!

As 2016 marks the second year that Americans are required to report their health insurance status on their taxes under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), if you have health insurance is through your employer, Medicaid, Medicare, VA, or other qualifying coverage, in the TurboTax program, all you will need to do is just check a box indicating you have coverage and you are done!
During the tax season, taxpayers who have non-Marketplace health insurance (their plan wasn’t purchased on healthcare.gov or a state Marketplace) may receive the new Forms 1095-B or 1095-C — these are receipts from private insurers or employers, confirming you had or were offered coverage. Check them for accuracy if you receive them and keep them for your records. You will not need them to file your 2015 tax return.
In the program, select Federal taxes / Health Insurance-Continue
On screen, 'Did you have health insurance coverage in 2015?' , select Yes-Continue
'Was anyone enrolled in a plan from Healthcare.gov or another Marketplace in 2015?" , select No. , then Continue.
Greetings to you all.
I am currently in Africa, I will be back this August 2020 hopefully. I received my 1095-B from my old addres from my roommate through WhatsApp. My question is how do I file and enter the 1095-B?
For 2019 taxes I don't see the question of "did you have insurance?". I see a "did you receive a 1095a?' Help, where is this question of did I have insurance?
Insurance is no longer mandated, so the only heath insurance form that is necessary to enter is a 1095A.
As of July 12, 2020, the question surrounding Medical, “ Did you have any medical expenses in 2019?” Yes or No. Select no and you’re taken to report Monthly premiums paid in 2019 for 1095-As?! Yet it shows in 2018, coverage provider and their EIN #. I’m so frustrated with this. I’m unable to E-file my return because of this. I have 1095-B. I’ve started over, and did not get “Did you have coverage...?
Frustrated

Can you explain this? I’m unable to e- file until Its fix. This appears to be a system/app issue.
Could you repost this image in a much larger size? When I blow it up (using multiple methods) it is too grainy to read. Thanks.
Don't worry about it being too big for the screen; I can read it anyway.
Thanks, this worked.
So you don't have a 1095-A, right?
Then please do the following:
*** Desktop***
1. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the desired form. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the View Pane.
*** Online ***
1. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form
2. delete form(s) 1095-A.
3. Continue with your return.
1095-B is for your records only. 1095-A is the only 1095 form that needs to be entered into TurboTax. TurboTax will ask questions about your medical coverage and you will answer that you have insurance for the full year. Just save the 1095-B with your 2020 tax records. It is your proof that you had medical insurance coverage.
I'm on line doing my taxes on the medical section I have form 1095 B
I'll should I answer the question. Did you received form 1095 A for your health insurance plan? Now my only answer would be No , correct?

No, is the correct answer since you did not receive a Form 1095-A. A form 1095-B is not entered on a tax return.
Yup I was a little frustrated also since I have 1095 B . But once you go to the State tax section you'll find the question " Did you have health insurance coverage 2020? Once you answer yes , the next pages will make it much simpler.

Where is the Health Insurance section information questions.
I would answer yes if I understood how to get to this location.
