Everything I've seen online has suggested you're supposed to be asked "Did you have Marketplace insurance?" at some point in the process, but I've had no such luck. A Google search suggests going to Deductions/Credits → Health Insurance but there is literally not even a Health Insurance tab in my Deductions/Credits dropdown!! I'm completely lost and I feel insane, because it doesn't seem like anyone else has experienced this problem. I've probed nearly every part of the website and there is no prompt or option to suggest Marketplace health insurance information anywhere. Please help?

    Go go the end of DEDUCTIONS. Finish that section completely. Let the software tell you whether they used the standard deduction or itemized deductions.

    The very next screen says:

    DID YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE FROM THE MARKETPLACE.

    Hi gideonflorida,

    If you indicated on the Personal > Taxpayer Information screen that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return, then you will not see the question asking about Marketplace health insurance because the 1095-A would need to be reported on the return of the person who is claiming you as a dependent. It should not be reported on your tax return if you are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.
