Should I amend my tax forms if I claimed to only have insurance for 4 months when I actually had insurance through my parents for the full year?

I am covered by my fathers insurance policy but I received my own policy for a few months through my job at the time. I filed as an independent and I was penalized for the months I didn't have coverage, affecting my bottom line. Should I fill out a 1040X to account for the insurance and if so, what documents do I need?
