Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@RedRoss
The Form 1095-A is an informational form which provides information about your insurance policy, your premiums (the cost you pay for insurance), any advance payment of premium tax credit and the people in your household covered by the policy.
The fact that your ex-wife will be claiming your child as a dependent does not affect anything unless you received advanced payments of the premium tax credit. The form is reporting who in your tax family was covered by health insurance, and if you received any advance of the premium tax credit.
If your child is not required to file a tax return, then on the screen after entering the 1095-A, you will check the box indicating that the policy was shared by somebody that is not on your tax return. It will then prompt you with further questions to determine how much of it is "allocated" to you (the parent). This amount should be 100% if your child is not filing a tax return.
Please note the allocation is only important if you received the Advanced Premium Care Credit, (column C of the 1095-A).
