Yes, the care recipient has to live with you in your home or you can live in their home.  If you live in their home, that has to be your only home.   See questions and answers #2-4 here.   Section 1915(c) enables individuals who otherwise would require care in a hospital, nursing facility, or intermediate care facility to receive care in the individual care provider's home.

Is that possible with the TT software?  I didn't find where I could resubmit the return after it was accepted by the IRS and wouldn't that be a 1040X?   I did find this link:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/got-12c-letter-irs-form-8962/L78Qyi5gK_US_en_US?uid=m9u69hb8   Ah, I find where you can amend the return and then TT wants you the mail it in.

Thank you!   Is it required that I live with my sibling that I am the legal caregiver for? My residence is in the same building but across the hall. Even when I am off the clock, I am available to them 24/7. I am rarely at my own residence. 

Oh, I did the amending with the 1095-A which did create an 8962 and reflected the higher tax that I owe AFTER the return was already accepted by the IRS.    So that's where I am right = I owe for the 8962 amount + ~$900 extra on the late penalty (I bought a house at the end of the year and cashed in stocks, equities, CDs, etc. but wasn't paying taxes quarterly since I did not know I was going buy said house.
