If the information on Form 1095-A is wrong, what should a consumer do?

• A. Wait for the next year's Form 1095-A.
• B. File an amended Form 1095-A with the IRS.
• C. The Marketplace Call Center to request correction.
• D. Ignore the discrepancy.

Answer: (C)

When Form 1095-A has incorrect information, you should contact the Marketplace Call Center to request a correction. The 1095-A contains the data used to calculate the premium tax credit on Form 8962, so any errors can lead to an incorrect credit amount on your tax return. The Marketplace is the proper channel to fix this and will issue a corrected Form 1095-A if needed. Do not wait for next year’s form, ignore the discrepancy, or try to amend the 1095-A with the IRS yourself. Once you receive the corrected form, use it to accurately reconcile your premium tax credit on your tax return.
