How do I add that I am a victim of domestic violence to Form 8962? I'm not given the option when completing the 1095-A.

Sorry, do not recall any section of the tax return indicating victim of domestic abuse when it comes to entering medical expenses, a Form 1095-A or Form 8962. How would that apply to either the 1095-A or the 8962?

It basically means I can claim the whole PTC It is Exception 2 for part IV

The exception for victims of domestic violence means that you are allowed to file as 'Married Filing Separately" (or, if you lived apart for the last six months of the year, "single' or "head of household").

If you are married and get healthcare through the government marketplace one of the first things it makes you do is promise to file a joint return. So the domestic violence exception is just that - an exception that allows you to file separately.

But there is no box to tick for this exception. Just file your return and send it in.

That option doesn’t populate. It is only giving me, “I shared this policy with another taxpayer who’s not on my taxes” and “I have at least one dependent on my taxes who’s filing a separate return.” The system has me listed as filling as head of household instead of just married filing separately. Could that be the reason it isn’t there, and if so how can I fix that?
