@al476 Yes, the other parent needs to enter your 1095-A in her return (as well as her own) and indicate 'allocated with someone not on my return' and claim 0%. Otherwise, she may receive a letter from the IRS asking for 8962 since your child (that she claimed) is on a Form 1095-A. 

 

On your return, after entering your 1095-A, on the screen immediately after entering it, check the box that the policy was shared with somebody that is not on your tax return and allocate 100% to you. It is usually best to allocate 100% to one tax return. 

 

However, if you decided to split the allocations (66% to you, 34% to her, for example) for the child she is claiming, she would indicate this after entering your 1095-A in her return.
