Why does my turbo tax still ask me about health insurance even after the 2017 provision?

[Coleen3 · Accepted solution]

Because you are doing a 2016 tax return and the law has not been changed retroactively. If you wish to omit that section, here is a fix.

1.       Go to the Healthcare section and select “None of us had it at any point”, and leave all the waivers blank.  It will trigger a penalty.  Continue on and finish the Health Care section.

2.       Go to Tools, Delete a Form, and remove  all healthcare-related forms (Healthcare Entry Sheet, 1095 entry, Form 8965). 

3.       Go to View Tax Summary/Preview My 1040 to confirm that there is no repayment on Line 46, and that Line 61 is completely blank
