Rejected Returns

I have two client returns that have been rejected multiple times because the IRS claims they both have participated in AHA program during 2025. I confirmed both did not, checked the box related to that fact on the 1095-A and have even saved the file under a new name and the returns continue to get rejected.

Is there a way around this issue with having to print and mail hard copies of the returns?

Unfortunately must mail to IRS - stating taxpayer does not have nor has had healthinsurance through the marketplace.

Can't you attach your explanation as a pdf?

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

Are there any figures on the 1095a? If so, the issuing party is claiming they did have coverage.

 Never saw a blank one.

 I don’t know what box you checked.

i don’t think it will go thru efile unless they can get a corrected copy with all zeroes. If that’s what they have and it’s rejected then it’s paper. If there are numbers on the form then it’s still paper with a covering letter.

good luck

You need to attach the ACA Explanation to the return, and when you choose the type of Attachment, you have to choose ACA Explanation in order to get it accepted.
