Your system keeps saying that I need to enter in my 1095-A information. I have not received a 1095-A. The only thing that I have is 1095-C and 1095-B

You may need to review your input in the Federal interview section. 

1. Select Deductions & Credits 
2. Scroll down to All Tax Breaks 
3. Select Medical 
4. Select Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A)
5. On the next screen, you will see Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan?  Select No to remove the 1095-A input on your tax return.

 

 

A 1095-A form is issued if you receive health insurance through the marketplace and not through your employer.

 

IRS guide to 1095-A

 

 

but it defaults to 1095-A. I do not have 1095A. How do I change it

 

When our interview section Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A) for the Marketplace insurance reaches the screen Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan? it will default to "Yes".  If you select "No" and Continue, it will not generate any Form 8962 information into your return. If you come back, it will default to "Yes" again, but it remained the "No" you selected until the time you came back into the area. This is as it should be.

 

To be sure there is not a partially completed form in TurboTax, please check here to delete the form from your return. This will delete both the form and the entries. 

• To Delete a Form go black menu bar on the left
• Click on Tax Tools
• Click on Tools
• Under Other helpful links, click on Delete a Form
• Scroll down and check for 1095-A or 8962 and if there is one, click on Delete
• Click on the blue Delete Selected Form
• At the bottom Continue
• At the bottom Continue with my Return

If you have e-filed your return and gotten an IRS rejection code F8962-070, it could be  because they have information from Healthcare.gov about Marketplace insurance and are looking for a 1095-A on your return to match their records. This might be because you or someone on your return began an application for insurance but did not actually enroll or for some reason Healthcare.gov erroneously has something connected to a social security number on your return. Forms 1095-B and 1095-C do not need to be filed and should be kept with your tax records. Please do not enter their information into TurboTax.

 

If you have already checked online at Healthcare.gov for 1095-A information and do not find what you need, you may wish to call them and see if there is any reason they would have told the IRS to expect a Form 1095-A.  You may reach them at:

1-800-318-2596

(TTY: 1-855-889-4325)

Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except holidays)

 

Once you have resolved the Healthcare.gov information, the IRS should accept your e-file. In the past, they would accept the e-file but then route the returns with Marketplace questions for special processing that caused significant delays. This way the issue can be addressed and your e-file should not be further delayed after it is accepted.

I do not see a black menu bar on left and no tax tools

I have never had this problem on previous turbo tax

 

 

 

Are you in TurboTax Online? See the screenshot below.

 

In TurboTax Desktop, click on FORMS in the upper right, then 'Open Form' and type in the form name.  Delete Form is at the bottom center of the form when it opens. 

 

You don't need to enter your 1095-B or 1095-C in your return.  

 

 

 

I am using the cd to do my taxes. I could not delete that form, I e-file 4 time and IRS did not accept my return because I needed the 1095a

There was an update with available information on  this recently.  The IRS is rejecting returns with this code because they believe you or someone on your return had insurance through the marketplace. Since you did have insurance through the marketplace in 2019, you  may still just be on their list.

 

You can try to enter $1 for the 1095.  This will not affect anything on your return, but having the form there may get the IRS to accept your return.  To do this take the following steps: 

1. Click Deductions and Credits
2. Scroll down to Medical and Click Show More
3. Click Start or Revisit next to the ACA
4. As you walk through the questions, you will be asked if you received a 1095-A.  If you did NOT, click YES.
5. Enter 0's for the Marketplace identifier and Policy number.
6. Enter $1 for January monthly premium amount and SLCSP
7. Walk through to the end and submit your return.

This seems like a hack - won't this get flagged by the IRS?

No, this would not necessarily trigger a review by the IRS.  If you choose you can change from e-file to mail and print your return.  It would create a long time lag for you since the IRS is extremely backlogged at the moment.  I would not be concerned if it were my return since you have no Market Place insurance or Form 1095-A.

I went thru this issue like 5 times. I had an account on the marketplace, but didn't get a plan. Kept saying I needed to do a 1095 a, which I didn't have. Couldn't figure out what I had to do. The tip about putting 0 in the first 2 boxes and 1 in the month of January worked!
