Like the IRS says, if you obtained health insurance coverage through an insurance exchange in 2014, you’ll be receiving one additional form this year: Form 1095-A. Eventually. Maybe. Quite a few on social media are reporting that they haven’t received theirs yet, and as USA Today notes, you can’t file your tax return without it.
Tax filers who obtained coverage through the marketplace cannot file a tax return without the new Form 1095-A. http://t.co/r3LfjbTXt2

“Please make sure you get your 1095-A before filing,” said Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen in a media call.
The tax filer would need to file an amended return down the road, creating more trouble, if you file without the 1095-A.
If you had health insurance through an employer last year, your health insurance coverage would be reported on your W-2 Form and you’d check a box. About 75% to 80% of tax filers would fall under the just check-a-box arena.
If Form 1095-A is lost, never shows up, or is wrong, taxpayers must contact their marketplace directly.
.@IRSnews says: "You should receive Form 1095-A in the mail from your Marketplace by early February." False! @HealthCareGov

.@CoveredCA I still need a Form 1095-A before I can file my tax return. Any idea when I'll be receiving one? Thanks for any info …

@BayAreaFan19 Hi Leslie, we're sorry for the delay. You should be receiving your 1095-A form very soon. Thanks for your continued patience!

@CoveredCA Finally got through on the phone. There wasn't a form generated for me. So now they say at least 3 more weeks. So frustrating.

@NYStateofHealth I never received my tax form 1095-A. Does everyone who enrolled last year receive one?

Maybe you can borrow one from this fellow.
@HRBlockAnswers Having issues efiling because I have more than one 1095-A form. Waited three weeks for latest update—still the same problem.

I love that my husband has insurance but @CoveredCA is a fucking headache. This lack of 1095a business sucks. #taxseason #covereca #sucks

Dear @C4HCO,
I asked last week when my 1095-A will come. Someone said they'd get back to me. No reply yet. No form yet.— David Schell (@DavidMSchell) February 9, 2015

@CoveredCA Excuses: yes; Form 1095-A; no; Complete tax return: impossible.

Getting through to the marketplace might be a hassle, but personalized help and the human touch more than make up for it. They really listen.
@CoveredCA << great job screwing up 100k tax forms just another level of incompetence with #Obamacare BTW how many illegals are signed up?
— Karen S (@ksdvm86) February 14, 2015
@ksdvm86 We're sorry for the frustrations, Karen. Please follow/direct message if you need assistance with your 1095-A form.
— Covered California (@CoveredCA) February 14, 2015
How many illegals are signed up, anyway? Covered California’s executive director isn’t telling.
