1095-A

I have a client that bought insurance through Covered CA and was issued a 1095-A.  The insurance covered him, spouse and son.  

I prepared the return for the son separately and not being claimed as a dependent by parents.  The return has been rejected and the following is shown "The e-File database indicates that Form 8962 or a binary attachment with description containing "ACA Explanation" must be present in the return." How can I submit the return without being rejected since the 1095-A was sent to his father and not him?

Thank you anyone that can help.

Sincerely, 

Gilberto Carrillo

The 1095A needs to be included on both returns. If the parents return allocated 100%, you allocate 0% to the kids return (scroll down to page 2 of the 1095A worksheet for the allocation section).

You may need to attach the 8962 showing the 0% allocation to the return (as the message states).
