Deductions & credits

If you are claiming your son, then yes, you would need to include his income where it asks for your dependents income.  This is because it is based on household income, not just the income of those who are covered. 

 

Whose income to include in your estimate

For most people, a household consists of: 

  • The tax filer
  • Their spouse if they have one
  • Their tax dependents, including those who don’t need coverage

The Marketplace counts estimated income of all household members. Learn more about who’s counted in a Marketplace household.
