Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, that is correct.  You no longer include her income in the section that asks about dependents income since she is no longer a dependent on your return.  Anything related to her insurance now goes on her return.

 

You can choose to allocate 100% to her and 0% to you, although, since the Advanced Premium credit was based on your income, this may result in her paying back the premiums for you and her.   It may also result in her getting a bigger refund if you did not get a full credit for the premiums.

 

You do not have to do 100% and 0%.  If you are married and there were 3 people on the policy you can also choose to split is in thirds and give her 33% and you take 67% or any other amount you choose to claim.  Basically, the only requirement is that the numbers add up to 100% between your returns.
