The IRS is requesting Form 8962 for 2016

The IRS uses LTR 12C (see upper right corner of your letter) to request Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit. It’s required when someone on your tax return had health insurance in 2016 through Healthcare.gov (or a state Marketplace) and took the Advance Premium Tax Credit to lower their monthly premium. Form 8962 is created by entering your Form 1095-A (received from your Marketplace) in TurboTax.

We'll help you enter your 1095-A in TurboTax and create (or correct) Form 8962. You’ll also be able to review an updated page 2 (needs to be included in the response to the IRS) of your 1040 or 1040A for any change to your refund amount or the amount of tax you owe.

It’s important to remember the following:

Read the details of your IRS letter carefully and follow the instructions provided in it.
Only print and send the forms requested by the IRS in your letter.
You won’t be completing or sending a Form 1040X (amended tax return) to the IRS.
