You have not mentioned the adult child's age or whether they were a full-time student.   If they were NOT a student, and they were 19 or older at the end of 2025, and had over $5200 of income, they do not meet the criteria to be your dependent.   Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5200 in 2025 (not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support.  

If he doesn't file his own tax return for anything then his 1095 A goes on your return.  See this thread about reporting a dependent's 1095 A https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-filing-my-taxes-but-my-mother-dependent-has-a-1095-a/01/3728236#M1381963

The main source of revenue and growth for MSFT is from Azure and cloud and enterpriser services, not Windows (although licensing brings in a substantial amount).   Likewise, the main source of revenue and growth for INTU is NOT from TurboTax or any pro tax prep software. 

No. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are two different types of accounts that allow one to pay qualifying health care costs with pre-tax dollars. The money for each type of account must be kept separate.   Here is a TurboTax article that discusses the differences between HSAs and FSAs: HSA vs. FSA: What Are the Differences?

Please forgive me for being so dense...  It should be obvious (to anyone who clicks the Start menu button or Search icon on the taskbar in Windows 11 Home edition) exactly how Microsoft intends to build up their balance sheet with this version of Windows: "ad impressions".  There's nothing but Bing and MSN for as far as the eye can see.   Windows 11 Home edition is nothing but an adware platform for M$ to shamelessly  grab views and clicks (and that may be the least problematic feature of the OS).  NO THANK YOU.
