So I have a tax client that did not purchase insurance through the marketplace in California. The error code I get when I efile the tax return (both federal and CA) states that taxpayer purchased insurance through the marketplace and that we need to enter form 1095-A and resubmit. I confirmed with the tax client that there was no insurance purchased through the marketplace. I check the box on the healthcare entry form for the 1095-A that no insurance was purchased through the marketplace, but it is still rejecting both federal and CA returns. Am I missing another fix?

Don’t understand how someone can get a 1095 a without having market place insurance.

was there any info filled in with numbers ?

Can see why it’s rejected. Wish I could help more.

There is no 1095-A form that my tax client received. She even got a 1095 B showing that she was covered under her original plan. Most of the time that I get this message the taxpayer did have marketplace insurance. However, this tax client was on disability for a good portion of the year but her employer continued to cover her under her plan through work. The only thing I can think of is that somehow when the disability paperwork got filed that somehow her SS# got attached to a potential marketplace insurance. But she never received anything from covered CA, so maybe her SS# mistakenly got attached to someone else's marketplace insurance? Stranger things have happened in this state LOL.

Has she contacted covered CA, spoke to a person and verified that no 1095A was issued to anyone listed on her tax return?

Open Form 1095-A. At the top of the form click Check if No Marketplace Insurance Purchased box to the right. Under the checked box click on Quick zoom to ACA explanation. Print and attach the ACA explanation when you e-file the return.
