The new 1095-B, Health Coverage, isn’t needed for filing a tax return, so you do not enter it into TurboTax.
Instead just check the box for having healthcare in the TurboTax Health Insurance section by taking these steps:
When you receive the form just be sure to review it for accuracy and keep for your files. See the following TurboTax video for more information:
In regards to 1095C:
The Form 1095-C is not included on the tax return. Store it with your records.
See the FAQ below for more information.

The tax form won’t let me complete my taxes without entering information from that form. I don’t have it I gave 1095B. Don’t see an option where I can mark I had insurance and move forward
You don't enter the 1095-B into your return.
Did you accidentally indicate that you had a 1095-A or had health insurance from the Marketplace?
If so, you need to get rid of that.
Try to do a Search for 1095-a and click on the jump-to result (Mac users must find 1095-a in the Topic List).
If you see one, delete it (with the Delete button or trash can icon).
If that doesn't clear the error, come back and tell us.
When I file tax return with TurboTax do I need to fill form 1095b
So you’re saying that when I file tax return I don’t have to fill up the 1095b form
No, forms 1095-B and 1095-C do not get entered into TurboTax. Only form 1095-A does.
Just stick the 1095-B into your tax file and forget about it.
Correct. There is no place to enter the 1095-B in TurboTax. Just file it and forget it.
You do not need to enter form 1095-B into TurboTax, just put the form in your tax file and forget about it.

We are Military and our care originates in the VA Administration. Each year we have checked the box saying that we have had insurance coverage all year long. In 2019 turbo tax they now want us to enter figures, which we do not have one price in each column a) b) & c).
On the 1095-B, they do not give us those costs of coverage to enter into turbo tax software. So what I am reaching out to the community about is if anyone has knowledge of the insurance cost figures that we are suppose to enter into the software for proof of insurance for the whole year.
Has anyone run across this situation? Why do you give us a puzzle that the VA or Champs VA knows nothing about. Lastly, is there a source for this information. reply to:[email address removed].
I am NOT talking about the 1040 form. I am talking about the section where at the very last before checking the return. Were you covered by insurance all year long? Yes or no. The VA and Champs VA, which both my wife and I are enrolled in gives us the 1095-B. But it has no figures on it that shows "costs" which we are to enter into the three columns. That is the information I am looking for. Reply to [email address removed].
You don't need the form to file your tax return. TurboTax will ask you questions about your health coverage but your 1095-B isn't needed. If you have a 1095-B, a form titled Health Coverage, the IRS does NOT need any details from this form. You can keep any 1095-B forms you get from your health insurance company or the government agency that sponsors your plan for your records.
I just got penalized massively by the STATE for not having health insurance coverage (shared responsiblity penalty). TurboTax did not ask me whether I have health insurance coverage, and I thought I did not fill in the medical expenses nor 1095-A - I have employer health insurance and received 1095-B. What should I have done to prevent this??

A Form 1095-B is not entered on a tax return. If you did not have health insurance through one of the state Marketplace Exchanges you would not need nor receive a Form 1095-A.
The state notice should have given you a number to call if you have further questions and a way to disagree with their assessment of your health care insurance.
If your state requires health insurance then in the state interview that would have been a question for you to answer ... if you missed that then a penalty would have been added to the return .... follow the instructions in the state notice carefully and respond appropriately.
i did all that and it gets rejected saying that someone had insurance and that its missing and i need to add it. How do i fix that?
Are you getting Reject Code F8962-070? If so, please see: Why is my return being rejected with code F8962-070 for a missing 1095-A?
If you are receiving a different rejection code, please provide it so that we can better assist you.
i have a 10985-b when i called the marketplace and everytime i click that i didnt receive a 1095-a form whenever i file i keep getting an email that my taxes were rejected.
If you were not covered at all through the Marketplace, then it is possible that form 8962 is hanging in your return. If you are not covered, you can take these steps to fix it and resubmit your return.
i dont understand the difference between part year resident to full year resident.
A part year resident is one that lived in the country or a particular state for less than the full year. A full year resident in one that lived in the country or state from January 1- December 31.
