1095-A

[esther926]

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,

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).
