How do I use Form 1095-A to complete my personal tax return?

If you received one or more Forms 1095-A, you'll use the information on the form(s) to determine whether you (and your family) had minimum essential coverage that met the shared individual responsibility provision for the entire year. If so, you can check the full-year coverage box on your personal return. If not, you may claim an exemption or make an individual shared responsibility payment.

You'll also use it to complete Form 8962, Premium Tax Credit (PTC) in order to claim the premium tax credit or to reconcile advance credit payments on your federal tax return.
