Why is my return rejected for a missing Form 1095-A?
Because IRS systems may have marketplace coverage data that the return has not reconciled.
If a taxpayer had marketplace coverage or advance premium tax credit, the return may need the Form 1095-A figures and premium tax credit reconciliation. Removing the entry from software does not help if the marketplace record exists.
Fresh example:
- Selena Ortiz believes she had non-marketplace coverage all year.
- Her return rejects twice for missing marketplace information.
- She later discovers an old marketplace policy remained active for part of the year.
The next step is to get the marketplace data from the correct federal or state marketplace, then use it to complete the return reconciliation.
