Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You don't need to indicate in TurboTax any details about the child you don't claim as a dependent, but is on the policy reported on the 1095-A. After indicating that you 'shared' the policy, you will enter the SSN for the person who is claiming that child (even it they're not on the policy themselves). That person also reports the 1095-A on their return. That way the IRS looks at both your returns to see that the amounts are divided between them.
You and the other person claiming the child will need to determine what % of the policy amounts you each will allocate on your individual returns. For example, if the policy covers you and two children and you paid the premiums (if any), you could claim 67% on your return and the other parent claim 33% on theirs when they enter the 1095-A. Or you could allocate 100% and the other person allocate 0%.
You can test this in TurboTax by changing the allocation % in this section to see how it affects your return(s) and choose the most advantageous split, as long as the total is 100% between you.
