My daughter is enrolled in the Obama era health plan; Covered California. After TT populates the total premium amount to itemized Deductions from Form 1095-A to Schedule A of Form 1040, it then multiplies the amount by 7.5% The result is a zero amount toward deductibles.
Although she is not my dependent, I pay 100% of her premiums. Since the total itemized deductions have no effect in her federal return, in my twisted logic, I feel that I should be able to use her premiums as deductibles in my own tax filing. Can I do this legally?
