That is what I thought, however I was told by someone on the phone after calling the IRS that because my son and I have a marketplace account/insurance that I had to file together so that when the taxes were filed they could assess total household income
@billmcse
You don't file together. After you enter your Form 1095-A, continue through the screens and read the questions carefully. If you are claiming your son as a dependent, it will ask you if you have a dependent who is filing his own tax return. When you check the box for that, it will ask you to enter his Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). That's how his income gets added into the total household income for the Marketplace insurance calculation. Click "Learn more" next to the box for MAGI for instructions to calculate his MAGI.
