    If you didn't have the Marketplace insurance all year, you can leave column A blank for the months you didn't have it.  Then columns B & C will not be an issue.

     

    If you have an amount in column A, then the amount in column B can't be zero. You must enter the Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan (SLCSP). The SLCSP is the second-lowest priced health insurance plan in the Silver category that was available when you applied for insurance at Healthcare Marketplace. 

     

    You can use the Health coverage tax tool to figure to get the SLCSP if it is not on your Form 1095-A.

    The amount in column C can be zero if you didn't take a monthly subsidy to help pay for your health insurance premiums.

     

    • If you did get a monthly subsidy to help pay for your health insurance premiums, enter the monthly amount in column C.

    TurboTax will automatically fill out Form 8962 once you enter your Form 1095-A.

    When entering your Form1095-A in TurboTax, leave those entries blank that have a $0 on your form.

    I did leave them blank (in column B and C) and the response from Turbo Tax for column B is "Must be greater than $0" and column C "Please enter an amount"
