CA ISR Penalty: Where do we enter information stating the taxpayer had health insurance thus eliminating the penalty?

[michael6]

New for 2020 California instituted a Individual Shared Responsibility penalty. How do we override it?

[sjrcpa]

Why would you override it?

Oh, I see you're really asking where is the input to show they are not subject to the penalty.

@sjrcpa - do you want to man the counter on this one?  Maybe @George4Tacks would like to take that on 😉

[sjrcpa]

I was thinking we need to start one for this.

Please take a queue number and wait for your number to be called.

This is response number π²

New update to 2020 - It is in Screen 53.014 California Premium Assistance Subsidy Credit like old IRS 1=entire household covered for all months, 2=no months.

Gee, now I need to solve for π²... 🙄

@itonewbie "Gee, now I need to solve for π²."

π aren’t squared. π are round.

If there are this many Nervous Nellies in California who are concerned about a new item in December, can you imagine what it will be like here when it's actually time for returns to be prepared?

Note, the reference to screen 35 is not correct.  Go to screen 39 (ACA tab), 3rd section on the left is titled "California Premium Assistance Subsidy/Penalty.  Enter 1 for entire household covered.

I did not previously see that option. However I had an update this morning and POOF there it is! 

Thanks!

@Biz CPA 

Screen 35 - or rather 53?....  WAS correct when that was posted.  The program was changed to now use Screen 39; which is a lot more logical as that's where F 1095-A info is entered, just like in past years.
