Mailed return with wrong healthcare info - Medicaid vs Marketplace 1095 issue
I just mailed my tax return but realized theres a problem with my healthcare reporting. I have Texas Medicaid for pregnancy but somehow im showing as having marketplace coverage. Will this cause my return to get rejected? What should I do about the 1095 form since I already mailed everything?

The good news is your return won't get rejected for this reason. However, you should file an amended return (Form 1040-X) to correct the healthcare information once you receive confirmation that your original return was processed. This will prevent any issues with premium tax credits or penalties. Make sure to include documentation showing your Medicaid coverage dates.

•Wait until you can see your original return processed on your transcript. Usually 6-8 weeks after mailing.
