As of right now, you can't if you are using TurboTax. It is 'bug' in the program.

Once the 'bug' is fixed, in most cases you need to leave it blank (don't enter zero).

Yes! It is a bug. It was driving me crazy until I saw this post.

Hi - I saw that this was a bug that isn't going to be fixed on 4/28. But I was able to enter 0.01 in column 3 of the interview method which let me continue to the next page. Then switched to forms method and overwrote my 0.01 with 0.00 and it worked fine for me.

In column C you can leave the data entry fields blank ... do not enter anything.

But you must put a figure in column B ... so if your 1095-A doesn't have an amount you will need to get it from the ACA website ... fill in the info here to get the Second lowest cost Silver plan (SLCSP) amount you need to enter for every month you had insurance ... https://www.healthcare.gov/tax-tool/#/

I had the same issue, and called an agent at TurboTax to help fix it. It turns out, my form had around 33 different instances of "zeroes." I had to enter them one at a time and kept hitting enter, until at last, I reached the end and was able to move forward with my application. The problem is, you have no idea where you are in the process, because it doesn't show which particular box you are on as you go...but I kept at it and it worked for me.
