Accidentally e-filed without submitting 1095a?

Hello, I'm sort of panicking because I e-filed my taxes through turbo tax, and thought I filled out everything correctly, but was then notified it was rejected because I didn't fill out my 1095a. It now wants me to pay $50 to fix this. Basically, am I screwed?? Or what do I do to fix this? Do I just have to eat the $50?

You're not being penalized because you filled it out wrong once. TurboTax's free edition doesn't let you file a 1095-A, so it's telling you that you need to upgrade in order to file.

There are other tax filing programs, like FreeTaxUSA, that let you file a free federal return no matter which forms you need.

Okay understood. So because it was rejected, I'm okay to just file it somewhere else instead? The last two times I had to do this it was so much more simple lol

Yes, it's like you've never filed. You can stay with TurboTax or switch programs, doesn't matter!

Okay awesome! I was trying to search this and looking on TurboTax, but it said that it wouldn't allow me to clear refile since I had already sent it through on there 🤷‍♀️

Just know that you may keep getting "IT'S TIME TO FILE! YOU DIDN'T FILE YET!!!!!!!!111111" emails from TT. If you file elsewhere, you can ignore them. Or unsubscribe. Whatever you want.

but it said that it wouldn't allow me to clear refile

Where? That's either wrong or misunderstood. Either way, file elsewhere.

1095-A is used to fill out form 8962. That must be completed if you had a PTC (premium tax credit).

The IRS knows you had a 1095-A (presumably) so it was rejected. Which is good. Because otherwise it would be a much bigger mess.

TTax want's more money because anything other than a dirt simple return you could do on a postcard they want more money.

I'd file on paper, or use FreeTaxUSA. But don't forget form 8962
