in Filing my taxes

Hello,

I had health insurance through my employer and then had to leave my job and did not have health insurance for the remainder of the year.

When doing taxes it is asking for the minimum premium offered by my employer however I did not have this option while unemployed, my 1095-C form has the code 1A for the four months I was employed and then 1H for the months in which I was not employed.

How should I handle this?

Thank you

    Hi jordy_de,

    Generally speaking, the Form 1095-C isn't required to be reported on your tax return for 2024 due to the individual healthcare mandate penalty no longer applies to the 2024 tax year, so there should not be any need to enter this in the software on your side. 

    With all that said, we prefer to be thorough with this, so could you please us know if you are referring to another tax year or a specific state rather than the federal tax return for 2024?
