  • Prepare Form 8962 manually / externally, attach as PDF

    • Use the 1095-A data to manually compute Form 8962 (following IRS instructions)

    • Save that completed 8962 as a PDF

    • In ProSeries, go to the “Miscellaneous → Attachments / PDF attachments” for that client (or the “Other forms / supporting documents” section) and attach that 8962 PDF to the 1040-NR return

    • Then when you go to e-file, ProSeries should transmit the PDF as a “supplemental” attachment

  • Remove or zero out the credit / APTC entry in ProSeries

    • If possible, suppress the entry for the premium tax credit or APTC (if it shows up as a line in your Health Insurance section), so ProSeries does not demand a 8962

    • Note: This might mean you lose credit or have to repay the APTC, but that may be appropriate if, under nonresident rules, you cannot claim the credit anyway

  • File on paper (paper-file) and attach 8962

    • If e-filing remains blocked, you can go with a paper return

    • Print Form 1040-NR, include your manually completed Form 8962, attach Form 1095-A, and mail

    • This avoids the software limitation and rejection via e-file

  • Contact Intuit / ProSeries Support to request an enhancement / patch

    • Since multiple users have flagged this limitation, let ProSeries know you'd like the ability to generate 8962 under 1040-NR

    • They may provide a patch, update, or workaround in a future release

    • In the meantime, request confirmation from support that your manually attached 8962 will be accepted in your jurisdiction
