I have a 1095-A form with 0 in column B, but also a 1095-C. I can’t use the tax tool because I don’t fit requirements. Do I copy column A into B since that was paid?

I still have a marketplace plan even though I’m eligible for my company’s insurance now, which is why it says I can’t use the tax tool. And the note for what to do if column B is 0 says something about using the amount due that was paid, which all of my months were, but I’m not sure if I’m understanding correctly.

@DavidD66 Ok… So how should I proceed if TurboTax doesn’t allow me to enter the form without a number above 0 in column B? Does this mean I’m not eligible to enter this form at all? If so that’s fine, I just don’t want to miss something important. Thank you for the clarification about the 0 being correct!

Did you have a number in column C? Or did you pay the full premiums on your own?

If you did not have a number in column C, then you may be able to remove the 1095-A and attempt to submit. The IRS may reject your return saying you must include form 8962. If so, then you will need to print and mail your return.

If you did have a number in column C, you will need to include form 8962 in your return. Since you actually cannot enter anything other than 0 for column B, you will need to print and mail your return. Prior to doing so, you can attempt to ignore the warnings for the 1095-A column B errors and see if you can transmit your return, but if it stops you, the only option would be to keep the form as it is supposed to be and then print and mail the return.

@marissadimiduk Can you clarify which tax tool your referring to? Thanks!

@MAK70 Yes! It’s the Department of Health and Human Services tax tool that’s recommended when I click on the information for what to do if column B has $0.
