Sorry. The legal language isn't quite clear to me. The way i understand this is that if her income is too low( like 10k per year), then she is not eligible for subsidies under obamacare in NJ. If i claim her as a dependent on my tax return , then my income gets attached to hers and then again she is not eligible for any subsidies under obamacare and i will have to bear the full cost of insurance which is around 700-800$ in NJ the last time i checked.I don't care about claiming her as a dependent on my tax return as long as she can get decent insurance that doesn't cost a crazy amount.
