If you didn't have health insurance through the Marketplace, just reply to them with a statement to that effect. Print something about your coverage- an insurance card copy, a paystub showing your payments through work...

Or call the number on your notice and ask, "Why are you sending this to me?'

The notice is likely automated, so find out if somehow there's a 1095-A "out there" with your SSN on it (or your dependents). Ask the IRS if you just cannot figure out why you have this.

It could also just be a mistake. Mistakes do happen.

Either way, it's resolvable and you just have to get the ball rolling with the IRS to take care of it.

I know this message is old, but can you please tell me how long it took to get the error corrected. The IRS (the IRS says it is actually the Marketplace) did the same thing to me this year and like you, I did not have Marketplace insurance nor did my dependents (they both have Medicaid). The IRS sent the 12C letter on March 6, and I responded on March 11. The IRS said that it could take up to 8 weeks to process. I was just curious as to whether you were able to resolve your issue, and if so, how long it took. Thank you.

Patience is the key when dealing with the IRS. The issue will be resolved. If the date referenced in the letter passes without an IRS response be sure to contact them again using the contact information in the letter.

I just got this letter this past weekend. I didn't have insurance at all and my daughter had Medicaid. I responded via fax saying just that. I also called marketplace to verify and they too said no for myself or my daughter. I am curious also about how long it takes for the irs to resolve this issue.

@Nicolesmith1185 It's good that you faxed the IRS in response to their request for your 1095-A and Form 8962.

You might also try calling the phone number on your letter.

Although we would have no idea how long it takes the IRS to resolve this, if you had no Marketplace insurance and no 1095-A was issued, someone at the phone number may be able to give you a timeframe.

These letters are generally sent when they have a 1095-A and there was not one in your tax return. Document your Marketplace contact.

Before doing the letter below please check healthcare.gov to ensure you did not have a tax form 1095-A issued to you or your spouse and / or dependents.

Attached affidavit - signed letter below to your e-filed tax return preparation or print sign and mail with your paper filed tax return.

Date

This is an affidavit that I, Thomas St. Onge with social security number ######## do not have health insurance through the online marketplace nor does anyone in my family, spouse/dependents. This letter is to confirm that I do not currently or previously have health insurance and have not received a tax form 1095-A for tax year 2024.

Sincerely,

Since you had insurance through your employer, follow the instructions in the TurboTax article How do I fix e-file reject F8962-070? under What if I wasn't covered at all in 2024 through the Marketplace?
