Form 1095-A Premium Tax Credit
Did you receive Form 1095-A and an advance payment of the Premium Tax Credit for your Marketplace health insurance? If so, it's important to include this information on your tax return. Form 1095-A provides details about your health insurance coverage and any advance payments made.
If you file your tax return without including the information from Form 1095-A, the IRS will likely reject it. You may see a message like this:
"Your return was rejected because the IRS records indicate you received an advanced payment of the Premium Tax Credit for health insurance purchased through the Marketplace for someone on your return. You'll need to provide information from the Form 1095-A that you received from the Marketplace."
Keep in mind that only the IRS can reject returns. If you receive this notice, it means that the IRS believes you or someone on your return should have received a Form 1095-A, even if you haven’t received it yet.
To fix this, follow the steps below to add your Form 1095-A to your tax return.
