How do I enter Form 1095-A amounts?

Explains how to enter Form 1095-A amounts in april, when to include decimals, when rounding is required for multiple forms, how rounding works, and what to do if another Form 1095-A arrives after filing.

Updated this week

If you only have one Form 1095-A

Enter the amounts exactly as they appear on your form.

  • Include cents

  • Use decimal points if they appear on your form

  • Don’t round the numbers


If you have more than one Form 1095-A

Some people receive multiple Forms 1095-A, usually because their coverage changed during the year.

For each month:

  1. Add the amounts from all your forms

  2. Round the combined total to the nearest whole dollar

  3. Enter the rounded total in the health insurance section

Rounding rules

  • Round down if cents are under 50

  • Round up if cents are 50 or more

Example: If January is $120.20 on one form and $79.60 on another, combine them ($199.80) and enter $200 for that month


Why you may see an error about decimals

If you’re entering combined totals from multiple Forms 1095-A, decimals aren’t allowed. Each field must be a whole dollar amount, so including cents may trigger an error.

If you only have one Form 1095-A and see an error, double-check that you’re not combining amounts or rounding when you shouldn’t.


If you receive another Form 1095-A after you file

If you get a new or corrected Form 1095-A after your return was accepted:

  • You may need to file an amended return
