1 Best answerIf you didn't have health insurance through the Marketplace, just reply to them with a statement to that effect . Print something about your coverage- an insurance card copy, a paystub showing your payments through work.
Or call the number on your notice and ask, "Why are you sending this to me?'
The notice is likely automated, so find out if somehow there's a 1095-A "out there" with your SSN on it (or your dependents). Ask the IRS if you just cannot figure out why you have this.
It could also just be a mistake. Mistakes do happen.
Either way, it's resolvable and you just have to get the ball rolling with the IRS to take care of it.

I know this message is old, but can you please tell me how long it took to get the error corrected. The IRS (the IRS says it is actually the Marketplace) did the same thing to me this year and like you, I did not have Marketplace insurance nor did my dependents (they both have Medicaid). The IRS sent the 12C letter on March 6, and I responded on March 11. The IRS said that it could take up to 8 weeks to process. I was just curious as to whether you were able to resolve your issue, and if so, how long it took. Thank you.
March 19, 2020 2:12 PM Expert AlumniPatience is the key when dealing with the IRS. The issue will be resolved. If the date referenced in the letter passes without an IRS response be sure to contact them again using the contact information in the letter.

Thank you, DMarkM1.
I agree that patience is the key. An advocate called me yesterday (initiated by the IRS). The advocate told me that the issue should be resolved by April 16, 2020 (58 days from the date the return was accepted).
March 24, 2020 7:02 AM New MemberI am going through the same error right now. The MarketPlace says I had coverage in 2019 and I absolutely did not have coverage in 2018 or 2019. They said they were going to do a fraud investigation that would take 35 days. That was about 1 week ago. I received a letter today saying that they reviewed my request and concluded that my 1095 A form won't be changed because it's consistent with the information they have from the Marketplace and my issuer's records. I called them back and they say that since someone called them with all my information that it must have been me. I told them it wasn't me and the lady said "Well no one else would have your name and social security number, address and date of birth, so it had to have been you". I told her that I had coverage through Insure Oklahoma and that I had been paying premiums and I could prove that. She said that that would be my choice to have additional insurance coverage. Can anyone tell me where to go or what to do now? I'm at a complete and total loss.

this is not a tax question or anything the IRS can resolve.
call back and ask to speak to a supervisor and explain you've been the victim of identity theft. Maybe the sup will listen.
in the meantime you have evidently been the victim of identity theft so here is what you need to do.
Credit Agencies
1) Report the identity theft to the fraud department of one of the following reporting agencies as soon as possible. They must notify the other two agencies.
• Equifax: equifax.com
• Experian: experian.com
• TransUnion: transunion.com
2) Request a copy of your credit report and request that only the last
four digits of your Social Security number be placed on the report.
3) Close accounts that you think have been compromised or opened
fraudulently.
4) Inform the credit bureaus and the credit issuers (in writing) of any
fraudulent accounts and incorrect information.
5) Obtain replacement credit cards with new, secure account numbers
and destroy any old cards.
6) Notify those who have received your credit report in the last six
months to alert them to any disputed, fraudulent or incorrect information.
7) Confirm that an extended fraud alert (seven years) is placed on your
credit report.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
1) Report the crime to the FTC to establish an Identity Theft Affidavit.
Identity Theft Victim’s Complaint and Affidavit.
Local Police
1)Report the crime to your local police or sheriff’s department. Make
sure to prompt as much documented evidence as possible.
2)Verify that the report lists the fraudulent accounts and keep a copy
of the report.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
1) Contact the IRS to report the theft. This will alert them to any claim
for refund or other activity on your account. File IRS Form 14039,
Identify Theft Affidavit.
State Tax Agency
1) Contact your state tax agency to report the theft. Some agencies
may require a police report and/or the IRS affidavit.
Other Agencies and Organizations
1) U.S. mail fraud: Contact your local postal inspector.
• Online: postalinspectors.uspis.gov
• Phone: 800.275.8777
2) Social Security number misuse — non-IRS issues:
-Check your earnings record to make sure no one is using your SSN
to obtain work. Call your local Social Security Administration (SSA)
office if something looks inaccurate.
-Contact the SSA Inspector General to report Social Security benefit
fraud, employment fraud, or welfare fraud.
• Online reporting resources:
- socialsecurity.gov/oig
- Fraud Reporting Form
• SSA fraud hotline: 800.269.0271
