When there is a zero on the 1095-A leave that field blank in TurboTax.  
 

SLCSP stands for Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan, which is the second-lowest priced health insurance plan in the Silver category that was available when you applied for insurance at Healthcare.gov or your state’s Health Insurance Marketplace.
 

It's the standard used to calculate your Premium Tax Credit, even if you're on a different plan. In most cases, you'll find your SLCSP premium on your 1095-A in column B.

You can use the Health coverage tax tool to get your SLCSP if it isn't on your 1095-A.

Take out all the zero's leave them blank regardless of what the program says.  Just resolved a cx issue.  Go to deductions, 1095, and delete any zero values.

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

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Select Search and enter 1095-a.
  3. Select Jump to 1095-a.
  4. 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.

When filling out your 1095-A in TurboTax, if there's a '0' on the paper form, leave it blank in TurboTax. In other words, enter amounts for the months you had insurance and leave everything else blank.
