My daughter residing in Massachusetts is covered under my Empire Blue Cross (New York). I saw this advice: You need "The Tax ID (EIN) of your parents' insurance company - you should be able to call the company and obtain this". So I called the insurance company and the representative did not know what I was talking about. They said there is no insurance provider federal ID that a customer would need. I then called my employer's HR. They didn't know what I was talking about either.
Turns out, on Turbotax for 2019, you don't need to enter any information except to check a box saying you've had health insurance coverage all year. So... why the advice to get "The Tax ID (EIN) of your parents' insurance company"?
