I have a client who has her 3 non-dependent kids on a 1095-A. They are allocating 100% of the premium to her and 0% to her kids. I was able to get hers taken care of, however, when I tell Lacerte that each of her kids are allocated 0%, I get a diagnostic that enrollment premiums or advance payment of PTC must be entered on Form 8962, Part II, line 11. It's telling me the return must be filed as a paper return. Is that correct or am I entering this incorrectly? I entered all of the monthly premiums but the allocation of 0% generates that diagnostic. Is there a way to still get this to efile?

Just to double check - was there Advance credit paid (column C of the 1095-A)?

And you've filled out all three columns for the 1095-A?

As a side note, does it have the best results to allocate 100% to the parents? In many cases, a kid may have lower poverty percentage and would end up with a better credit.
