I'd like to see a way to force Lacerte to put monthly totals on Form 8962 instead of having it report annual totals when 12 month detail is entered.  I have a client where not all columns are the same for 12 months on Form 1095-A, but Lacerte is totaling all columns as if they are and putting them on line 10.    My support agent was super helpful but we discovered that there is not a way to make this change.

If columns A and B are the same every month, the program should automatically use lines 12-23.

If only column C varies, it all goes on line 11.  What is the reason that you would want it on lines 12-23?

The IRS issued a notice to a client of mine wanting the monthly detail from their 8962 as it's not the same every month in all 3 columns.  Columns A and B have the same amount every month, but column C amounts vary from month to month.  I'm simply trying to reply to what the service wants, and a way to force Lacerte to use the monthly detail would solve this problem.

You could change column A or B of one of the months by $1.

If it was my personal tax return, I would highlight a copy of the 8962 Instructions for Line 10 and tell the IRS to bug-off because the 8962 was filed correctly based on the Instructions.

Changing the numbers by $1 works...but I chose not to go that route since they also want a copy of the 1095-A in the reply.  I don't think the IRS would complain about giving monthly detail even when it's not required so I'm hopeful this feature can be added.
