Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your son did get a 1095-A, it is because at enrollment you told the Marketplace that he wasn't on your return. That’s why he received his own 1095-A . 

  • In this case when TurboTax asks you if you are sharing your health plan
  • don’t check the box.

If your son did not get a 1095-A, TurboTax will ask you to enter a 1095-A on your son's tax return. He'll enter the info from the parents' 1095-A. 

  • The next screen will ask you about your health plan being shared, so check the box.
  • Then you'll see a screen asking for shared policy info. You enter the following:
    • Enter the Social Security number in box 5 (recipient's SSN) on your parents' 1095-A
    • Enter the starting month and ending month that you had the insurance
  • Now you'll be asked to enter percentages for Your Premium, Second lowest cost Silver plan (SLCSP) and advanced payment.
  • You should see amounts on the parents’ 1095-A, columns A, B, and C. 
  • You both should agree on what percentage of those amounts you’ll each will claim on your return.
  • You can use anything from 0% to 100%, as long it all adds up to 100%.
