diagnostic: The e-File database indicates that Form 8962 or a binary attachment with description containing "ACA Explanation" must be present in the attachment with description containing "ACA Explanation" must be present in the filing.

I'm hoping for a workaround to this diagnostic so that I can e-file.

What is a "binary attachment"?

It suggests that an attachment can be sent (with 8453?). What would I attach and what input is needed (on Form 4.4)?

binary attachment = pdf

The more I know the more I don’t know.

I received the same error. I tried attaching the 8962 as a PDF attachment even though there's not a link to the 8962. I also cleared the diagnostics. Neither worked, the return was rejected again. If any has a solution I'm open, otherwise it's a paper return for this client.

@lyleKS Did you get Form 1095 from your client?

I did receive the 1095-A. My client had no advance of premium tax credit and will not qualify due to his income level. I'm now researching whether the 8962 has to even be included with the return.
