No, you are not required to claim them as a dependent on your return.
You are able to share a Marketplace policy with any of the following people who aren't on your taxes:
- Someone with whom you share custody of a child
- A former spouse
- A person who now claims your child as a dependent on their taxes
- A person you used to live and file taxes with
- A parent or an adult child
When this occurs you must allocate the policy amounts. The allocation you choose depends on who you share your Marketplace policy with.
