If there are no other mistakes you should still receive your refund. However you will need to amend your return to include this information on your tax return.
You will not be able to make any changes until your return is processed. You can amend any changes once the IRS has accepted your return. If they reject your return, then you will have the opportunity to make any necessary corrections, add anything that was left off, and resubmit your return. The instructions to amend are below:

My refund was accepted on feb 7 2018. Soni should still get my refund any day now but aftwr i do get it i need to amend my return and pay back what my refund was basically?
Directly from the IRS: If you’re filing an amended tax return because you owe additional tax, you should file Form 1040X and pay the tax as soon as possible to limit any interest and penalty charges.<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-offers-tips-on-how-to-amend-your-tax-return">https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-offers-tips-on-how-to-amend-your-tax-return</a>
I was wondering the same thing. I already filed my taxes and after i received 1095-A form and I did receive premium tax credit for my health insurance. Will I still get my refund on time or have to refile?
The IRS may choose to withhold your refund and possibly issue you a 12C letter. This letter may ask for information pertaining to your 1095-A and the calculation of the Net Premium Tax Credit on Form 8962. This form reconciles the amount of the credit available to you with the amount already received as an Advance Premium Tax Credit. The result could be additional credit owed to you, or you may have to repay any amount already received in advance. Because of either of these results, it is important for taxpayers to include the information from Form 1095-A on their return.
Once you have submitted your return for filing, it is not possible to cancel it. Think of it as dropping your return in the mail. Once it is accepted, you will have to amend to add the form. An amended return must be paper filed. However, if the return is rejected by the IRS, you will have the opportunity to correct it and resend electronically.
I forgot my healthcare marketplace information in my taxes this year. I called and was told that my refund was in hold until I provided the information. I faxed that information in yesterday ,2/27. Got accepted 2/1. She said it could be up to 8 weeks, but since I was doing it so early( the correspondence letters have not yet been mailed) I may very well be first in line and it could take just a week days or weeks. How likely is the 8 week timeframe?
Not terribly likely - the IRS tends to publish very conservative timelines, for the worst case scenario.
It sounds like you have already been speaking to the IRS. Since they are the ones actually doing the processing, I would be inclined to listen to the IRS employee you spoke to. Let's hope that she is correct.
I did, and I cant ask them for a status update for 8 weeks..that's why I asked
If you received a Form 1095-A it has to be reported to the IRS. The information on Form 1095-A is used to complete Form 8962. This link The IRS is requesting Form 8962 for 2019 has information to assist you in filing Form 8962.
you should wait for a letter,
the filing procedure they offer you does not require amending your tax return with 1040X.
Meanwhile you can revise your return and get the 8962 generated.
If after that you owe more tax due, pay it by April 15.
This is what I was told when I called.
From the information the agent saw( which said healthcare marketplace as an error), I didnt include my 8962 form which is causing my refund to be held, as that is the only error she saw in the return. She said I needed to send in these 3 things:
1040-A Form
Calculated 8962 Form
Handwritten letter explaining why I hadn't recieved my correspondence letter and about us moving to a new address, signed, by me and my wife, who is also on the return.
We faxed them directly to the processing center she provided (in Kentucky I believe).
So with that said, should I call the Tax advocates for help, because I'm facing a serious hardship by next month. But I also dont want to delay the process any further. I just need information. Is there a chance since I was almost first in line for this type of error to be sent for people with EITC to have it manually processed ASAP?
Yes, you will still get your refund. You will receive a letter from the IRS requesting that you use the information on Form 1095-A to complete Form 8962. You can use TurboTax to prepare your Form 8962. This link The IRS is requesting Form 8962 for 2019 has information to assist you in filing Form 8962.
No I understand that. I'm saying is there any way to have it processed faster than 6 to 8 weeks for a simple mistake such as this? I'm being told by the tax advocate office I'm pretty much SOL.
No, unfortunately there is not a way to speed up the processing at the IRS.
Have you seen something like this take 8 weeks? Why would I have to wait 8 weeks just to check?
Also, this isnt amended is it? They just asked me to attach more info to finish processing so is that better?
Here is how to get the form 8962 filled out. Please note: You are NOT going to amend your return and you are NOT going to add a state return. These directions are quirky but will get the job done.
The IRS may adjust your refund once they receive your form 8962.
I didnt amend I did everything you mentioned already. I'm asking, if I'm "accepted" pending the admission of the 8962, and if that's all they need to process, how could I face more issues down the pipeline (like the tax advocate hotline said) or a 8 week turnaround time?
So I just wont be able to know anything for 8 weeks is that it?
I've sent my 1085-a and 8962 form Feb. 25th ( I forgot to fill out when filing 1040). How long does it usually take and will they still direct deposit or they have send check ?
Yes, you will still get your refund. There is no way to determine how long it will take the IRS to process your Form 8962. Your refund will be sent as a check to the address you used on your Form 1040 when you files your tax return.
Why would they send a check? I didnt recieve any information to confirm that for the IRS or otherwise. They claimed it would be the same as what you initially put down.
Depending on what appears on the 8962, the IRS may adjust your tax due or refund.
The is because the 8962 is the reconciliation of the Premium Tax Credit that you presumably took advantage of when you bought insurance through the Marketplace.
At the beginning of the tax year, you estimated for the Marketplace what your income would be. From this they estimated how much Premium Tax Credit you would be eligible for (this is money paid from the government directly to your insurance carrier to help pay your premiums).
At the end of the year, you finally know how much income you actually had. Generally, if you ended up with more income than you initially estimated, you would have to repay some or all of the Premium Tax Credit that the government paid out for you. On the other hand, if you made less than what you estimated, then you might get an additional credit on your tax return.
The problem is that the IRS doesn't know if you final refund will be the same or more or less than what you initially filed, until they see the 8962. That is why your refund is held up until they get the forms.
So far as I know, the reference to a "check" was metaphoric and that you will receive the refund in the way you indicated on your tax return.
