You met the Affordable Care Act requirement to have health insurance in 2016 if you were covered through:
- your employer (employer-sponsored health insurance, or insurance through your work, or your spouse's or parent's work)
- a state, federal or private Health Insurance Marketplace (including Healthcare.gov, and plans purchased through state Marketplaces, which are also known as exchanges)
The six months will only reflect that she had a Marketplace health insurance policy for six months. Marketplace health insurance policies require that form 1095-A be completed whereas forms 1095-B and 1095-C, do not.
