Where do I enter my 1095-A?

Important: If you'll get a 1095-A, wait until you've received it to file your tax return. Filing without it will result in a rejection from the IRS. 

You should receive a Form 1095-A by mid-February if you purchased health insurance through Healthcare.gov or your state's health insurance marketplace.

You need to enter the information from 1095-A into TurboTax, as you won't be able to file Form 8962 and accurately report the Premium Tax Credit without it.

• You can enter more than one 1095-A in TurboTax if members of your household received individual forms, or if you received more than one.

Here's how to enter your 1095-A in TurboTax:

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Navigate to the 1095-A section:
   • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1095-A.
   • TurboTax Desktop: Search for 1095-a, then select the Jump to link.
3. Answer Yes and enter your 1095-A info on the next screen.
   • We don't need all the info from your 1095-A. We'll only ask about the info that affects your return.

What if I receive a 1095-B or 1095-C?

You don't need to enter Forms 1095-B and 1095-C in TurboTax, but it's a good idea to keep them for your records.

What do I do if the amount in column B is $0?

On the 1095-A, column B is the Monthly Premium Amount of Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan (SLCSP). This amount is never $0 because it shows a premium amount that would have been charged. If your 1095-A has a 0 or if it's blank, use this healthcare.gov tool to calculate the value you will need to enter there. Column C reflects the Premium Tax Credit you received throughout the year.

You need to input your 1095-A exactly as it appears on the form you were given. You can get a copy of your form from your Marketplace account if you didn’t receive it in the mail. If you didn’t receive a 1095-A (or you received a 1095-B or 1095-C), you shouldn’t enter anything on this screen.

Your premiums are deductible as medical expenses (unless you were self-employed) and limited to the amount that exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. This amount is also only deductible when you itemize your deductions. If you don’t enter your 1095-A, the IRS will reject your return.
