Can't fill out 1095 A with either zeros or left blank - what do I do?

I had Covered California for January through August - so all months have zero in all fields for the months I did not receive the tax credit or have insurance. Turbo Tax will not allow me to continue filing with either a zero in those fields or with it left blank.

What can I use to solve this problem? I have already tried uploading a photo and a PDF of the form - but turbo tax can not recognize it or import it.

My return was rejected because of this one form - please help so I can re-submit!

Thanks Folks.

Leave all columns A-C on the Sept - Dec lines completely blank; delete any zeros there. You should only have entries in columns A-C on lines Jan - Aug.

For any month you have an amount in column A, you have to have a positive amount in column B, and any amount (including $0) in column C. If there is no amount (or $0) in column A, leave all columns blank for that line.

The problem was, I had one line with all zeros but an amount in line C. I had to eventually leave that blank as well or turbo tax would not accept it/taxes were rejected. But I thought it had to be exactly the same as the 1095? So confusing.

If you have Pennie, they for some reason seem to be putting a number in Column C for the month after your policy was cancelled. Not entering anything on that line will solve the problem. Since there was no premium paid, there should be advanced premium tax credit.
