What you are used to and what is correct are two different things.  Just fill out Part 1 of the 982 with the total of the two 1095-C forms in Box 2 and the box for Line 1(b) checked.  

IRS may send a notice if the 982 is not filed with the return.  They're likely to start a full audit when you add something in and then subtract it out, contrary to instructions.
