Well, this is frustrating as hell. I am ready to file my taxes and I get to the part in credit and deductions about needing form 1095-A for purposes of having health care the whole year. Well, of course, I know it is early but I don't have the form yet from carrier nor can I download it yet. Gee, is this important now seeing that that law has been abolished. I feel like just filing without it. Wondering if anyone has any insight on this. I would hate to do an amended form.....Anxious in the Midwest.
Did/do you qualify for subsidies (ie household income < %400 of FPL)?
If not, you don't need form 1095-A. This form is used to calculate your PTC (premium tax credits) allowed, and reconciled against APTC (advanced PTC) paid directly to your insurance company to lower your premium.
If you (ie. everyone on your return) din't qualify for PTC, didn't receive APTC, had (MEC) ie health insurance all 12 months, then just check the box on 1040 line 61 "Full-Year coverage".
